The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride (DGR) is a global, one-day charity motorcycle event that brings riders together to support men’s health—specifically prostate cancer research and men’s mental health initiatives through its official charity partner, Movember.
Who: DGR is for motorcycle riders (and supporters) who love classic and vintage-styled motorcycles, along with a range of tasteful custom and “modern classic” machines. Each city’s ride is run by local volunteer Ride Hosts, and the event typically limits participation to one official ride per city to keep it organized and community-driven.
What: Riders register online, dress in dapper, classic attire, and join a friendly parade ride through their city to raise funds and awareness. The emphasis is on camaraderie, respectful riding, and visibility for the cause—turning a stylish day out on two wheels into real-world impact for men’s health programs.
When: The event is held annually, and the DGR site lists the 2026 ride date as Sunday, May 17, 2026 (with pre-registration available).
Where: DGR takes place worldwide, with rides hosted across a huge network of participating cities and countries. Your exact start point, route, and schedule depend on the city you choose—once you select your location on the DGR “Rides/Cities” section, you’ll see the local details for your official ride.
