Kevin is the Face of the Race
FORMER councillor and Great Wheelbarrow Race Committee Chair Kevin Davies, who passed away in January, has been named the Face of the Race for the 2025 event.
The race, to take place between 9-11 May, was an important event for Mr Davies who competed in the event numerous times and became the chair of the organising committee in 2024.
“This year we are dedicating the race to our beloved past chair and councillor, Kevin Davies – a face we all love and miss so very much,” long-time committee member and friend Natasha Srhoj said.
“Kevin was a champion of the race since it began and a champion and friend of the people in it, the charities and the communities along the way who benefit from it.
“There wasn’t anything Kevin wouldn’t do to make this race the best it could be for all involved. He always wanted the best for everyone.
“This was a man who dedicated his time to make things better for everyone else - truly service above self. He embodied everything this race is about and this year we are doing it for Kev.”
Ms Srhoj encouraged anyone considering competing in this year’s race to nominate now.
“So let’s all be like Kev, join us and let’s make this the best year yet for our leader we can never forget,” she said.
“He’s with us in spirit and will be watching us along the Wheelbarrow Way!”
