Black Dog Ride remains official charity for 2025 ASBK Championship

Black Dog Ride, the not-for-profit motorcycle-themed organisation which raises awareness of depression and suicide prevention, remains the official charity for the 2025 ASBK Championship.

The charity, founded in 2009 when Steve Andrews embarked on a solo 26-day motorcycle journey around Australia, will be a presence at selected events on the 2025 ASBK calendar, with the charity’s support also extending to the ProMX and AusEnduro Championships.

At the rounds, spectators can find out more about the Black Dog Ride, take home information packs, purchase merchandise or simply enjoy a chat with one of the loyal band of dedicated volunteers who provide their time to support the charity’s mission.

Since its humble beginnings, the Black Dog Ride has morphed into a massive advocate of mental health, with motorcycling activities remaining the core driver for all its fundraising, awareness programs and community grant initiatives.

The charity’s calendar of ‘active’ motorcycling events is Australia-wide. To view the 2025 calendar, visit www.blackdogride.org.au/view/rides/black-dog-ride-calendar.

You’re not a motorcycle rider? Not to worry: the Black Dog Ride is an open book, and you can also be a valued part of the organisation as a volunteer and/or fundraiser, sponsor, donor, or simply by purchasing merchandise.
