The gravel ride was set up by former professional cyclist Wesley Kreder, who was unexpectedly struck by cardiac arrest in 2023 as a result of myocardial inflammation. With this event, the organization aims to bring people together, raise awareness, and collect funds for research into heart problems in athletes.
