6-day cycling tour
Sunday, 16 February – Saturday, 22 February 2025
On 16 February 2025, a peloton of dedicated cyclists will start an epic tour traversing Eastern Victoria.

walk for relief
9am – 11.30am, Sunday 23 February 2025
A 10km walk in the stunning Pt Nepean National Park was added new to Ride for Relief in 2024 with great success being participated by over 120 walkers. It opened the door for more people, not just road riders, to join the community event supporting mental health and wellbeing.
The walk event will start with a Welcome to Country ceremony to pay respect to the traditional landowner, followed by a Yoga stretch before promenading to the scenic beachside path of Pt Nepean. There is an optional entry ‘Walk for Relief and Bathe’ for those who want to recharge their leg muscles after walking by soaking in the mineral-rich geothermal water at Peninsula Hot Springs. Sign up for Walk for Relief for $50 ($25 for children aged 5-15) or Walk for Relief and Bathe for $125 ($75 for children 5-15) and share the experience of supporting the significant cause with friends and families. Children under 5 years old are free to enter.
