UK event organiser Threshold Sports has announced a new title sponsor, international law firm Sidley Austin, for its London Revolution cycling event.
London Revolution comprises a two-day cycling weekend in October. This takes participants on a 360 degree loop of London, as well as trail running and walking options along the River Thames.
Thomas Thesing, Sidley’s Managing Partner in London, said “Sidley is proud to support London Revolution in its mission to help people and companies to achieve greater things; and we embrace this opportunity to join with them in promoting healthy mind, body and spirit across our city.
“We are keen to enable our 300+ lawyers and professional staff here to participate in the race and explore the beauty and diversity of London alongside their colleagues and families.”
Nick Tuppen, CEO of Threshold Sports, added “We are hugely excited to welcome Sidley as title partner of the London Revolution in 2022. The pandemic has put individuals and organisations under enormous pressure, and this is a great example of a company moving from words to action with their commitments around fundraising, community engagement and wellbeing.
“Cycling the full 250km loop around London over a weekend is an unforgettable challenge and we can’t wait to welcome Team Sidley to the start-line on 1st October.”
With more than 2,000 lawyers in 20 offices around the globe, Sidley is a premier legal adviser for clients across a spectrum of industries.
Sidley’s London office has a track-record of fundraising through sporting events, including Tour De Law, Standard Chartered City Race, and London Legal Walk.
Globally, Sidley also recently completed its ‘Virtual Sidley 5K’, which saw more than 500 participants from 20 offices challenge themselves by running, walking, rowing and swimming.
