The Peaks Challenge Ride2School fundraiser is back!
We need your help to get more school children riding bikes and walking to school.
In the 1970s, 8 in 10 students rode or walked to school. Today, that number has dropped to just 2 in 10. The Ride2School program is working to turn this around, building lifelong healthy habits, reducing congestion, and creating safer, more active communities.

This year, as you take on 235km and climb more than 4,500 meters in just one day, we’re asking you to use your monumental effort to help us tackle an equally big challenge, getting Australia’s kids moving again.
Set up your fundraising page now and help raise funds for Ride2School as you train for Peaks Challenge 2026.

Riding a bike is one of childhood’s great joys – whether it’s family rides on a sunny day or pedalling to the corner shop for an ice cream with your friends.
But as well as being a rite of passage, research shows that riding a bike to school improves academic performance, focus and mood.
That’s no surprise, given children aged 5 to 17 need at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day to stay healthy. Riding a bike to school is a fun way to integrate exercise into every day and gives young people a valued sense of independence.
