This year, horse lovers across the UK are joining us in May to help raise money to protect and improve safe off-road routes for horse riders and carriage drivers. If our off-road routes disappear, so do some of our best hacking days in the great outdoors. Help us protect them by taking part in Rideathon, raising funds and spreading the word.
Everyone who takes part this year will receive our exclusive Rideathon Challenge rosette and a certificate to say thank you for fundraising for us, as well as three months FREE access to OS Maps Premium.
Our top ten fundraisers will be in with a chance to win a prize bundle worth over £1,200! Our whopping prize package includes:
- Three vouchers for BHS Gold Membership (1 year)
- An OS Maps bundle
- Ten Naylors vouchers, totalling £1,000. Our top fundraiser will receive a £500 voucher!
How it works
First, sign up here!
Set your distance - choose a distance of 25km or more to complete throughout the month - you can ride, carriage drive, walk or cycle, and decide whether to take part with friends or just you and your favourite four-legged companion.
Then ask your friends and family to sponsor you – when you sign up, we'll send you more information on how to set up your Just Giving page to raise money.
Check out the Rideathon resources and downloads - there's a fundraising pack, badges to share on your social pages, a guide to claim your OS Maps offer and more!
Remember to share your challenge and progress on social media by hashtagging #rideathon2025.
Whether it’s trotting along your local bridleway, or a slow ride through the woods together – you choose the place and the pace. Take the reins this May, let's ride for Rideathon.
Sign up to Rideathon today
Join the challenge today and saddle up in May. Every penny raised will support the BHS Ride Out Fund, helping to preserve and restore off-road equestrian routes across the UK.
Rideathon 2025 supported by Naylors
We’re delighted to announce that Rideathon 2025 is supported by Naylors, one of the UK’s top equestrian retailers and the go-to store for many horse lovers.
Our top ten fundraisers this year are in for a treat, with a total of £1,000 worth of Naylors vouchers up for grabs!
Not only that, but Naylors have also generously donated £2,000 to the Ride Out Fund, helping us support more projects across the UK.
Stephanie Mann, Naylors Marketing Manager said: "We are thrilled to be supporting the BHS Rideathon for 2025. Together we encourage equestrians to round up your horsey friends, saddle up and ride your favourite routes. Get ready to ride this May, whilst raising funds for the BHS Ride Out Fund, where every penny goes towards keeping your bridlepaths safe, clear and fun. We'd love to see you in the saddle".
Mark Weston, BHS Director of Access said: "As Rideathon returns for another year, we're pleased to welcome the support of Naylors. Our fundraising challenge in support of our Ride Out Fund benefits access to safe off-road routes for not just horse riders and carriage drivers, but walkers and wheelers too. The more funds we raise, as well as Naylors' generous donation to the Ride Out Fund, the more projects we can make happen. So, no matter how you take part in the challenge this year, we look forward to seeing where your adventures take you."
