We are pleased to say that the event is organised by the rightful international body. Unfortunately, the ride was interrupted by one of the former volunteers who helped conduct rides in the past. He applied for an injunction preventing us from using the name and logo of the ride, as he and another person had previously applied for this logo in Sri Lanka. Their application was opposed by the charity in January 2026 on the basis that the charity's trustees have a duty to protect its intangible assets. Nevertheless, that individual applied for an ex parte interim injunction on 10th March, and the order was served only on the 11th in mid-afternoon — whereas the first day of the ride had already concluded. The organising committee and the entire group of riders met on the first evening of the ride to discuss this order, and it was unanimously agreed to comply. The ride continued with the contested logo covered and was renamed as the "10th Anniversary Ride". A new banner was printed, and the ride concluded successfully under the new name.

About This Ride

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all participants, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters who made the 10th Annual Ride a meaningful success.

We were delighted to conclude the ride at Green Memorial Hospital on 14th March 2026, having covered nearly 540 km across Sri Lanka.

This remarkable journey brought together:

  • 75 riders
  • 11 countries
  • 15 dedicated volunteers

whose time, effort, and commitment helped support several worthy charitable causes.

Due to unforeseen legal circumstances regarding the use of the “Ride for Ceylon” name and logo, the organizing committee respectfully complied with the request and continued the event under the title:

“10th Anniversary Ride to Green Memorial Hospital”

We sincerely thank all participants and supporters for their understanding, encouragement, and continued support throughout this journey.

Ride with heart. Ride with purpose.
