Watch: Race is on at Trafford Centre for Salford Red Devils Foundation’s #RidetoRio


Sports lovers are coming together at the Trafford Centre over the next two days to pedal their way to victory with Salford Red Devils Foundation.

It’s all going off from 12pm to 4pm on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 July.

Office workers, children on school holidays and Salford sports legends are lacing up their pedalling shoes and sliding into bike seats to take part in a virtual 3,000-mile ‘race’ to Rio.

Only the best teams from companies across Salford and Manchester will win the epic indoor bike race – but everyone can have a go.

Pedalling furiously, the team have taken over part of The Orient food court at The Trafford Centre today, Friday 29 July and return en-masse on Saturday 30 July with the Super League trophy and rugby league stars including Adrian Morley and Salford’s latest signing Luke Burgess.

Early results coming through from Salford Red Devils Foundation suggest Super Josh Charity are – fittingly enough – the winners of the half-hour challenge on the first day, with one more day to come on Saturday 30 July.

Video from the racing line also shows Jamie Jones-Buchanan in a race-off with club captain turned ambassador Morley.
