FOOTBALL TO AMSTERDAM 2016

14 October 2015

Join Scunthorpe United and represent the Iron in Europe in 2016!

Hold on to your helmets, because the biggest ride in football is about to get bigger for Prostate Cancer UK’s annual football fundraiser.

Dust off those bikes, squeeze into some unflattering lycra and get your helmet on to represent Scunthorpe United and Prostate Cancer UK’s Men United in Europe on 3-5 June 2016 for a 145 mile cycle ride in conjunction with The Football League.

Formerly known as the London to Amsterdam – 2016’s challenge is getting a makeover. In an exciting new development, the charity ride will consist of two start locations to become the all-inclusive Football to Amsterdam.

London or Yorkshire?

In 2016, there are two start locations:

Set off from Barnsley FC’s Oakwell Stadium – home of the Tykes since 1888.

Or kick off from the iconic Olympic Park in East London.

Last year’s event was a sell out with more than 250 riders – including former international trio Terry Butcher, Matt Holland and Luther Blissett, together with Preston North End boss Simon Grayson, and the Iron's Adam Grice and Wayne Johnson.

In 2015, the collective Men United squad raised a whopping £350,000 for Prostate Cancer UK, an amount which will go a long way in helping men who are affected by the disease and crucially pave the way for new research and treatments.

Registration fee is £149. Each rider will pledge to raise a minimum of £1,000 in sponsorship to help fight back against a disease that affects one in eight men in the UK.
