Calling volunteers for ultimate ride

It’s last call for volunteers to join us on the last ever Peaks Challenge Cradle Mountain.

Don’t miss this opportunity to help riders conquer the unrelenting and unpredictable climbs of Tassie’s rugged North West.

We are after a crew of volunteers to join the team for a breath-taking adventure.

As an extra special offer for Peaks Challenge riders, if you bring along a volunteer or volunteer yourself, you will score a free entry to Peaks Challenge Falls Creek 2018.

If you’re passionate and enthusiastic with energy to burn, and want to experience this world-class region, we’ve got something for you.

We have a number of roles available, either on the route or at the event site, whether you’re into route marshalling, supporting riders at a rest stop, driving a SAG wagon or taking registrations.

To see what’s available and apply for a role, simply register in our volunteer portal, or sign in to your existing account.

Fundraising opportunities and donations are available for community groups who register multiple volunteers for Peaks Challenge Cradle Mountain. Eligible groups include sporting clubs, schools, rotary and other nominated charities. 

For more information on eligibility and getting your group involved please get in touch with us.

In a changing climate the shoreline is no sure thing

Many of our best bike journeys are along coastlines, or up and down the creeks and rivers that meet the sea. These are generally traffic-free routes, scenic, calm and refreshing. But with rising sea levels some of this vital infrastructure is at threat of inundation, erosion and from changes in groundwater chemistry.
