The Ballarat Cycle Classic is more than just an event - it’s a celebration of community, hope, and determination. Now in its 18th year, this much-loved annual event unites people of all ages and abilities to support the Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute (FECRI), Australia’s only regional cancer research centre.
Every dollar raised goes directly to FECRI, funding groundbreaking research into better treatments and cures for cancers that affect families everywhere. With no government funding, the Institute relies entirely on the generosity of people like you to continue its vital work.
The Cycle Classic offers something for everyone - whether it’s taking on a scenic road ride, tackling the thrilling mountain bike trails, strolling with your furry friend in the Petstock Walk, or simply enjoying the festive atmosphere at Lake Wendouree.
This year, they’re celebrating 18 amazing years with new events, including the Eclipse Ford Triple Lake Birthday Loop, and timeless favourites like the SPUD100. It’s a weekend of fun, fitness, and fundraising where every step or pedal stroke helps make a difference.
Join in and be part of something bigger - together, you can create a brighter future in the fight against cancer.
