Story

Twelve amateur jockeys will take part in the 2025 Macmillan Ride of their Lives on Saturday 14 June 2025 at York Racecourse. The charity race is one of the highlights of MacmillanCharity Raceday, the single biggest fundraising event for the charity which has raised over £10m since it’s inception.

The riders are keen to get their fundraising up and running, with each rider set to raise at least £4,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support as they embark on a period of intensetraining over the next six months.
