BLUE SEPTEMBER WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS August/September 2021 27 Put your pedal to the metal to help a mate through Pedal4Prostate returns to the Waikato region with the 5th annual running of this fantastic fundraising event at Hampton Downs Motorsport Park. Pedal4Prostate is part of the Prostate Cancer Foundation’s Blue September awareness and fundraising campaign, with this year’s theme being “Do Something Blue to Help a Mate Through”. This year’s Pedal4Prostate event is on Sunday the 7th of November. In this time of uncertainty and the disappointing cancellation of many sporting events, including other cycling challenges, the anticipation of reducing lockdown restrictions has ensured this popular 4-hour endurance event, Pedal- 4Prostate, remains firmly fixed in the cycling calendar. Pedal4Prostate appeals to families wanting a fun day out on their bikes and, also appeals to the serious cycling enthusiast who wants to test themselves against their teammates and the clock. This popular event attracted over 200 riders and raised just over $100,000 in 2020, and this year we are aiming for even more people to take part, says Event Manager Carol Roche.
