Pedaling for a Purpose: Cycle for Hope Returns for the 11th year to Raise Vital Funds for School Chaplaincy in Far North Queensland On Saturday, May 30th 2026, passionate cyclists from across the region will come together for the annual Cycle for Hope charity ride, supporting school chaplaincy services in the Cairns region, Mossman and the Tablelands. Starting from Redlynch, riders will tackle the scenic, but challenging route up the Kuranda Range, through Mareeba and Mt Molloy, and down the Rex range to finish in Port Douglas having ridden a total of 145kms. This inspirational ride is more than just a physical challenge — it’s a commitment to the wellbeing of young people in our local schools. Funds raised go directly to supporting chaplains who provide critical emotional and social support to students across the region, which supports our young people with improved mental health. Join the ride, sponsor a cyclist, or donate today — and help us bring hope to the next generation. https://cycleforhope.org.au/ | Surf Club, Cnr Mowbray St & Esplanade, Pt Douglas | Free for spectators, cyclists $230 late rate | https://cycleforhope.org.au/ | 0427 603602 | [email protected] | Community Event | Martine Plumbe | [email protected] | 0408 774091 | ||
