About the Event

The Anglian Water WaterAid Cycle Ride is back!

Join us in supporting WaterAid’s vision of making clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere.

Once more, this September there will be a number of cycle rides for WaterAid. These are open to all Anglian Water employees and partner company employees or by invite only (regrettably we are not able to make these rides open to the general public). The rides are not a race, they are about having fun and taking part. Why not set yourself a target to Get Active and join us? Your £40 registration fee includes food to fuel you rides and a customised ride Jersey. We ask that each rider aims to raise a minimum of £100 sponsorship.

Gravel Ride

On 4th September riders can tackle approximately 100km in the Essex countryside, mostly gravel/off public roads. As ever this will be a supported ride with coffee and lunch stop options available. Register by 17th July to guarantee your cycle jersey! Instructions & route info will be provided in your registration pack, and further information on event details and schedule to follow.

You must be an Anglian Water employee or a partner company employee to register. MTBs and gravel bikes all welcome. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions about the ride, or [email protected] for questions the registration process.
