Mackay and the Whitsundays’ River 2 Reef Ride Ride Festival is back again in 2022. The annual charity ride is in its 11th year, raising funds for local charities: RACQ CQ Rescue and Sporting Wheelies and Disabled Association.

The event is a great opportunity for some family fun and for more people to become active and involved in cycling. This year’s event is to be held across two exciting days at Mackay Botanic Gardens: Kids Colour Ride Bike-A-Thon on Saturday 3rd September and River 2 Reef Ride Distances (35km Dash, 60km Epic and 100km Gran Fondo) on Sunday 4th September 2022.
