The race is held in memory of Gavin. The event description notes Gavin’s long involvement in local sport, including playing with a rugby club and later coaching children with local triathlon, running and cycling groups. That community connection and a focus on encouraging young people to take part in sport are cited as reasons for the race’s local popularity.
