The Wally Gimber Trophy was awarded to the club for presentation at the annual road race by Wally Gimber, a lifelong club member. Wally was an active Dulwich Paragon member in the 1940s and excelled on the local Herne Hill velodrome.

In 1948-49 he was the London track, massed start and roller champion and set a national tandem paced half mile record of 48.55 seconds. He emigrated to the US in the 1960s but returned to the UK in 1985 to present the trophy to John Shand at the club’s 50th anniversary dinner. He kept in regular touch with the club until he passed away in 1993.

Past winners of the trophy include Sir Bradley Wiggins; multiple world champion, Olympic gold medallist and Tour de France winner. Simon Cope and Rob Hurd have each won four editions and Tony Gibb has won three.

Former winners go back to 1960 (2023 Race abandoned and 2020 not held due to covid)
