Ride500 is a month-long challenge that invites you to cycle 500kms this September to help end cancer. Set your km target, get on your bike and help fund world-class research, prevention programs, and support services for those affected by cancer.

You can ride anywhere you like! On the road, on the track, or at the gym – all the rides you track throughout September count towards your challenge.

Ride500 is all about challegning yourself. The more you challenge yourself, the more your mates will get behind you.

Set a km goal that will challenge you. Remember, you can always change your goal if you feel you have aimed too high or too low. All you need to do is log in to your dashboard and click on the ‘My Fitness Activity' tab.

Ride500 is a virtual challenge so you can be a team with your friends or colleagues no matter where they live and exercise separately. When you register, you have the option to select 'create' or 'join' a team, so you can team up with your mates on your ride.

Yes! We encourage cyclists of all levels to take on the Ride500 challenge. There are different challenge options to suit each level  – go on, you can do it!

While you can fundraise by sharing your page URL on Facebook, we ask that you do not use Facebook's ‘Add a Donate Button’ or 'Create a Fundraiser'. This will process the donation through Facebook, and we will be unable to add this to your Ride500 fundraising page.

An easy way to share your fundraising page is to log in to your dashboard and click the 'shared on social' icon. Another easy way to do this is to click on our 'Get Sponsors' tab that will lead you to an email we've written for you.
