RGK Wheelchairs Announced as the Official Wheelchair Racing Partner of England Athletics

RGK Wheelchairs is proud to announce its new partnership with England Athletics, becoming the Official Wheelchair Racing Partner of the national governing body for grassroots athletics and running in England.

At RGK, racing isn’t just something we build for; it’s who we are. Every racing chair that leaves our UK factory is crafted by people who live and breathe the sport. From first-time racers discovering the track to Paralympic champions chasing world records, every weld and every millimetre is built for performance.

England Athletics leads the way in developing a thriving, inclusive talent pathway for both athletes and para-athletes. Their approach focuses on creating an athlete-centred, transparent, and connected system that supports progression at every stage, helping more high-performing athletes reach new benchmarks and realise their potential at every level.

Mike Prosser, Commercial Manager at RGK Wheelchairs, said:

“Partnering with England Athletics marks an exciting new chapter for wheelchair racing in the UK. At RGK, we’re proud to lead the way in performance engineering, working alongside an organisation that shares our passion for growing the sport and creating opportunities for athletes at every level.

The RGK Sprint, built from lightweight aluminium, has already become a trusted favourite among racers for its strength, speed, and precision. Now, with the upcoming launch of the Sprint X, we’re taking that legacy even further. With carbon fibre construction and a refined aerodynamic design, the Sprint X delivers those all-important marginal gains that define elite performance.”

Matt Kendrick, National Para Athletics Manager at England Athletics, added:

“This partnership with RGK is hugely exciting for wheelchair racing in England. Together, we aim to support and develop a talented group of wheelchair racers and reduce barriers to performance progression through the talent pathway.”

Together, RGK and England Athletics are setting new standards for visibility, accessibility, and inclusion in wheelchair racing, inspiring the next generation of athletes to take their place on the start line.

This partnership unites engineering precision with athletic ambition, combining RGK’s world-leading design expertise with England Athletics’ extensive reach and community impact.

Because every athlete deserves a chair that moves with them, not against them.

We’re proud to be Pushing Forward Together.
