COCC Ride -Request from Relevance our Social Media Partner

To all You Budding Influencers Out There,

We are all looking forward to Sunday with decent weather expected.

Our social people at Relevance Monaco always looking for great content to help us spread the word about COCC. So we have a request: If you are taking any images or video during the ride and the Street Party, please don't be shy about tagging COCC on Instagram with any of your shots, comments, posts or stories as you ride across the French Riviera and into the evening at the Slammers Street Party.

If you upload your content to your social media or Instagram, please tag 

@official.cocc

Then we can spread the word about the COCC and these great charities we are riding for.

We can then repost these stories or posts on our social media.

Thanks a lot, looking forward to seeing and sharing footage direct from the riders to our channels for our 10th Anniversary.

See You Sunday.

COCC Ride 5th May 2024 - 10th Anniversary Street Party and Charities

For the 10th Anniversary we want to hold the best COCC party ever and would like as many people as possible to attend. In order to achieve this, entry will be free and all are welcome.

The Street Party at Slammers will start at 14h and there will be a paid BBQ and Oyster Bar with Live Music from a 6 piece Paul Dobie Band and 5 piece Caligagan Band.

Last year, the COCC Bike Ride raised over 70,000 Euros for the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation.

This year for the first time funds raised will be shared between the Princess Charlene of Monaco Foundation and the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

My Name'5 Doddie

The My Name’5 Doddie Foundation is committed to funding research to find effective treatments for motor neuron disease and to helping patients and families living with this devastating disease.

Donations can be made at the links below

COCC - Princess Charlene Foundation

Please share this info with all your friends, colleagues and family and encourage as many people as possible to donate and come to the Street Party

See you all soon

Tickets Available for the COCC Street Party 2024

Are you ready for the 2024 COCC bicycle ride from St Tropez to Monaco? We will be setting off from the Presqu'île de Saint Tropez at about 8am and heading towards Italy, past Saint Raphael over the Esterels, past Cannes, Antibes for a quick stop in Nice, and then on to Monaco to the finishing line at Slammers.

The team at Slammers will be waiting for the riders, their families, and friends to serve drinks and have organised quite a line-up of bands and music to get the party started. Chilli No. 5 will also be ready with gourmet hot dogs, meat & vegan, big burgers, meat & vegan, BBQ wings, fries & sides for anyone hungry after the 130km ride. Chilli No. 5 will be offering a range of mild to very hot chilli sauces to try for anyone who likes some spice.

The road will be closed for a classic Slammers street party so you will need to buy tickets in advance for the party, including street food, music and a spring night of fun. Remember, proceeds from the tickets will go to, as every year, to the Princess Charlene Foundation, which promotes awareness of the dangers of drowning across the world.

To buy tickets, please e-mail us, contact Damian and the social media team through Instagram, or pick up your tickets from Terry & Lisa at Slammers. There have been 100+ tickets sold, so please get in touch with us for tickets if you have not already to avoid any disappointment on the night. Riders have already got party tickets included. See you there.
