Riders
Here is your chance to see what you are really made of. Road riders have the chance to tackle the 780km that divides Cape York from Cairns to Karumba while the Dirty Boys (mountain bike riders) take on the outback tracks, rivers and creeks as they explore some of the most wonderful and diverse landscapes imaginable. To see what all the fuss is about, watch the video below.

Support Persons
The Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride is a brilliant adventure for everyone … supporters included!  This is your chance to not only support a friend or loved one while they ride, but also a chance for you to take in the sights and sounds of a magnificent part of Far North Queensland that most people will simply never get to experience. 

Volunteers
Each year the ride organisers rely on approximately 60 volunteers to keep the wheels turnings on this wonderful ride. We need kitchen staff, escort drivers, truck drivers, entertainment co-ordinators, communications personnel, photographers, logistics staff, drink station attendants, kid’s club helpers, massage therapists…and the list goes on.
