The QSuper Cardiac Challenge is a 333km cycling journey through the stunning landscapes of Far North Queensland, uniting cyclists of all levels to make a real difference. Over three incredible days, riders will conquer winding roads, lush rainforests, and rolling hills, all in the name of better cardiac care for our community.
This iconic event isn't just a physical challenge—it's a powerful fundraising effort that supports the purchase of life-saving equipment and services for cardiac care throughout Far North Queensland. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or looking to take on your first big ride, the QSuper Cardiac Challenge offers a rewarding experience that combines fitness, friendship, and the chance to transform lives.
Join us and ride for hearts!
Why Ride?
Every kilometre of the QSuper Cardiac Challenge is a step toward saving lives. This unique event empowers participants to make a lasting impact by raising funds for critical cardiac care in Far North Queensland. From supporting the purchase of advanced medical equipment to enhancing patient care, your efforts directly benefit those in our community affected by heart disease.
But it’s more than just a cause—it’s an unforgettable adventure. Connect with like-minded riders, experience the breathtaking beauty of our region, and feel the exhilaration of achieving something truly meaningful.
Ride with purpose. Ride for change. Ride for hearts.
WHY WE RIDE
Sandy is an active Rotarian volunteering with the QSuper Cardiac Challenge for many years, who decided to ride and then discovered a heart issue. Although he was initially told he would have to travel to Sydney for his procedure, the incredible team at Cairns Hospital’s cardiac unit were able to resolve his problems and he’s now back to riding, taking part in ParkRun’s and leading an active, healthy lifestyle.
WHY WE RIDE
Thelrina woke up at her home on Yam Island, 844 kilometres from Cairns, and couldn’t walk. She and her mum were transferred via helicopter to Thursday Island and later to Cairns Hospital, where a paediatric cardiovascular ultrasound bought by the QSuper Cardiac Challenge, meant she could be diagnosed with Rheumatic Heart Disease and treatment started.
WHY WE RIDE
Cheryl is fortunate that her health conditions have been able to be treated with the latest equipment and services available, thanks to the QSuper Cardiac Challenge. Not long after facilitating a large donation to help bring electrophysiology services to FNQ, she found herself in need of those very services. Cheryl, who suffers from pulmonary arterial hypertension, a rare condition, can now be monitored thanks to equipment funded by the QSuper Cardiac Challenge.
