With challenging times across the industry, the team at Grinduro has decided to make an offer thanking those in the industry who’ve recently been made redundant.
Despite being a small organisation, Grinduro wanted to do more to help than “just send virtual hugs”.
As a result, the Grinduro team are offering recently redundant industry employees a free entry to any of its events.
A spokesperson for the event organisers said: “Since 2015, Grinduro has relied upon many hard-working and passionate individuals within the cycling industry to support our events. Behind the big logos and slick marketing is a small army of people who love cycling as much as the Grinduro team do, if not more.
“As we all know, the bike industry has been hit by hard times recently. Many of those good folks have been on
the receiving end of a redundancy notice. Some of our closest friends who have previously staffed booths at
Grinduro events in the past are unfortunately now out of work.”
How to claim a free ticket?
- Email: industry@grinduro.com with your name, contact details and the event you want to go to.
- Every applicant will be asked that they include proof of industry involvement – by sharing a business card from your last job (or a LinkedIn profile) – and a rough date of when you were made redundant.
The spokesperson added: “We don’t want to be nosey, but you can bet someone will try it on for a free ticket. We look forward to seeing you on the trails and the dance floor.”
In 2024, Grinduro will host six events between May and October.
These include the seventh instalment in California through a return to Pennsylvania, Germany, Italy and Japan, plus a debut in France.
Standard entries are open now. Visit grinduro.com for more information.
Sponsorship opportunities are also still available, both at global and regional level.
