How the Annual National Motorcycle Teddy Bear Relay Works:
A mascot (teddy bears) will be carried by volunteer motorcycle riders in order to raise funds for our nominated charity.
The mascot is transferred from rider to rider at set handover points around the UK on a pre-set route.
The relay is non-stop, 24/7 for up to three weeks, so different legs of the journey will take place during the Day and Night until the mascot completes the final leg of the relay.
In order to carry the mascot (& therefore guarantee that the relay will travel through your local area) you must register as a Relay Rider & pay a £10 riders fee as a donation to our nominated charity via our fundraising page, then complete the sign-up form on our website. Full instructions can be found by visiting www.relayriders.co.uk
When you make your donation, please do not make it anonymously, otherwise we have no idea who made the donation.
We do not use motorways, so all routes are 125cc friendly.
Wherever possible it is our policy to ensure that all Relay Riders have support riders with them on their leg of the journey to ensure everyone’s safety and as a back-up if you are unable to ride on the day for whatever reason.
If you have agreed to take on a leg of the journey and are unable to do it please let us know as soon as possible so we can sort something out – this applies to both mascot carriers and support riders.
At each handover point you will fill out the paperwork that accompanies the mascot, take a few photos and (most importantly) let a member of the Admin team know that you have arrived so that we can keep everyone up-to-date on the mascot’s progress and adjust other riders handover times if necessary.
To register go to our registrations page and follow our instructions
If you have any questions just ask a member of the admin team!
