You can find out about each of the course and event options by clicking on the links below.
How do I know what course is best for me?
We have provided detailed information about each of the courses and event options on the Ride, Run and Walk pages on this event website.
We recommend that you prepare and train for the event you wish to participate in. This will prevent injury, muscle soreness and fatigue on the day, and overall, a more enjoyable event experience.
A few tips:
- If you are new to cycling – then try the 35km cycle and come back the following year to try the 60km or 100km cycle!
- If you like a bit of competition and focused on achieving a PB, then give the Half Marathon run a go or 100km cycle!
- If you like running, but not super-fast or haven’t trained much, then choose the 10km run.
- If you are after a fun, social day/ event with your team, then choose the 10km walk.
Why do I need to fundraise?
Every young person deserves a safe bed and home to sleep at night – and you can be the difference.
We have set a goal to raise $200,000 this year to achieve our target of building four bedrooms at Haven House South Dowling to support young people. This will equate to 73,000 safe nights of sleep. To achieve this we need your help.
Your registration fee only allows us to cover our event costs, this is why it is so important to make sure you are doing what you can to fundraise and help a homeless young person have a safe place to sleep and better chance at life.

What happens if myself or a member of our team do reach the minimum fundraising amount?
We encourage all participants to do all they can to reach the minimum fundraising amount of $350. This is to ensure the event reaches its fundraising goals to fund the vital projects which help homeless youth.
However, we wouldn’t stop the registrant from participating on the day if they are unable to reach the fundraising goal. The money can also be raised collectively as a team rather than individually to ensure all participants reach their minimum fundraising amount.
What is the plan for wet weather?
We hope to go ahead with the event if there is light rain.
However, in the event of inclement weather or any other factor affecting participant safety, the Property Industry Foundation, and the organisers, have the right to cancel the event to maintain participant safety.
Any cancellation or changes to the event will be communicated in advance via email, social media and SMS.
Should the weather prevent activity participation, guests will still be encouraged to attend the lunch at Miramare Gardens.

Do I get a refund if I change my mind?
If a participant or team cancel their registration, a full refund will be offered up until 30 days prior to the event. After this no refund will be offered.
If the event is cancelled due to weather or other circumstances out of our control, a full refund will be offered up until 14 days prior to the event. After this no refund will be given.
If the event is postponed all registration fees will be transferred to the new date.
