Connor “CDawgVA” Colquhoun is a Japan-based, Welsh streamer who hosts yearly livestreamed cycling marathons for charity. This year, he cycled from Japan’s north-most region Hokkaido to its capital city, Tokyo. Across the 15-day event, he managed to raise more than $1,000,000 total donations for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
The 2025 edition of Connor’s cyclethon began on April 12, with his debut stream of the event receiving just shy of 30,000 concurrent viewers at peak. Throughout the cyclethon, his viewership was bolstered by friends cheering on from home, and those guest-starring on stream to entertain the viewers. Fellow content creators like ironmouse and Felix “PewDiePie” Kjellberg bring a fresh appeal to the broadcast for seasoned viewers, and they also have their own interested followings.
In total, Cyclethon 4 received over 2.68M Hours Watched on CDawgVA’s own Twitch channel. This total was achieved by an average viewership of over 19,000 concurrent users, which stayed loyal and tuned in throughout the 15-day journey.
Diving deeper into Connor’s statistics for the cyclethon, over 41K Active Chatters participated in his chat and over 1,074,000 total messages were sent. Of course, his viewership shared a significant overlap with ironmouse’s, but perhaps surprisingly, other seemingly unconnected stars like Félix “xQc” Lengyel were among his most-related channels.
Throughout Connor’s fourth cyclethon, he amassed over 20,000 new Twitch followers and enjoyed a significant influx of subscriptions and personal donations. On the opening days of the event, more than 1,000 new subscribers joined his channel, likely brought in by word-of-mouth or other content creators.
Connor’s final broadcast of the fourth cyclethon was watched by just under 42,000 Peak Viewers. Each year, he’s set the bar higher and higher with these charity events, and now he can regularly raise millions for a meaningful cause.
Cyclethon is a phenomenon arguably bigger than CDawgVA, and 2025 added another entry to its victories. The Welsh streamer has hinted that they might be running out of routes in Japan; who knows where CDawg might take the event next time.
