Held in New York this year for the first time ever, the Rugby Ralph Lauren Tweed Run is a one-of-a-kind cycling event that combines our love of classic tweed style, British cultural heritage and a good, old-fashioned bike ride with friends.
On October 15 we'll be dusting off our vintage velocipedes and winding through lower Manhattan -- breaking along the way for tea, of course -- before finishing the ride with a gin-swilling party in Brooklyn. We'll be outfitted for the occasion in traditional British cycling attire, particularly tweed blazers, kickerbockers and riding caps.
It will be an absolutely spiffing day, guaranteed, so join us! Registration opens on September 22 to the first 100 cycling enthusiasts to sign up.
Check out our Tweed Run-inspired collection, and see below for photos from past Tweed Run events in London.
And to our friends in London and Tokyo: Don't worry, Tweed Run is headed your way soon!
Update: Registration for the New York City Tweed Run lottery is now open! 100 people will be selected to attend the event on Saturday, October 15. Register now for a chance to win one of 100 spots in the New York City here.
