A GREAT SOCIAL RIDE FOR ALL ABILITIES
Looking for the perfect social morning out? Grab your bike and join your mates, family, or work colleagues for the 25km Queensland Country Health Fund Dash!
This event is not a race, it is a wonderful, inclusive distance designed for riders aged 12 years and over. You will enjoy a predominantly flat, scenic course that takes you beyond Mackay’s city limits and lets you soak up our beautiful region at your own pace.
Take a breather at the halfway mark with the friendly crew at the Eimeo Surf Life Saving Club Rest Stop, and when you finally roll over the finish line, the celebration is just beginning! Head straight over to the HQ to grab yourself a well-earned, FREE bacon and egg roll fresh off the grill at the Thiess Recovery Tent. Afterwards, you can sit back on the sidelines, relax with a coffee, and join the cheer squad as the rest of the riders cross the line.
Best of all, your social morning out delivers a massive local impact - simply select your chosen community group when you sign up and $5 from your entry fee goes directly toward helping them succeed!
*Late fees apply for all registrations after midnight on 10 August 2026.
^Kids 5 years and younger can join the ride via a tag-along or bike seat, however, need to be identified during the registration process.
