ELKA SUPPORTS TEAM RYNKEBY

07/06/2022

On July 9, 2022, more than 2,000 cyclists will jump the bikes and head for Paris as part of the charity cycling team Team Rynkeby. The purpose is to raise money for children with critical illness, and we at ELKA Rainwear would like to contribute to that.

That is why we sponsor rainwear for the service team at Team Rynkeby Mid-West. The helpers in the service team make sure i.a. for food and drink for the team’s approx. 60 cyclists, both on long training trips and on the 1200 kilometer long trip to Paris. With free rainwear from ELKA, we wish to ensure that the helpers are best dressed - especially when the rain is pouring down - so that with their efforts they give the bikers the best possible conditions to complete the trip to Paris.

This year is the 11th time that we at ELKA sponsor the service team - and ELKA's rainwear has kept the helpers dry since the Mid-West team emerged and first cycled to Paris in 2012.

Team Rynkeby started in Denmark but has developed into an international cycling team. In the 2022 edition, the team consists of 2,225 cyclists and 360 helpers divided into 65 teams from nine countries. The team cycled to Paris for the first time in 2002 and has since collected approx. DKK 550 million for children with critical illness.

The funds are collected through sponsorships and by the participants themselves covering expenses for the road bikes, bicycle sportswear and hotel accommodation. All funds raised go uncut to children with critical illness.
