Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride

A big thank you to WIN Television on Nine Network for supporting the 2026 Cardzilla Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride.

Their support has helped us share the excitement of C2K across regional Queensland and beyond, reaching riders, supporters and communities as we prepare for another incredible journey from Cairns to Karumba.

As we celebrate the spirit of adventure, community and connection that defines C2K, we’re incredibly grateful to have media partners helping bring the story of the ride to life.

Thank you for supporting the adventure and helping us celebrate everything that makes C2K so special.

Where are we?

After a long day on the road, there’s nothing quite like pulling into Georgetown, grabbing a cold drink and relaxing with the C2K crew at the iconic Wenaru Pub 🍻🚴

It’s these moments — the stories shared, the laughs, the friendships and the chance to unwind after a big day riding — that become some of the best memories of the journey from Cairns to Karumba.

Who’s looking forward to another afternoon at the Wenaru this year? 👇

We’re excited to welcome Cafe One back to the Cardzilla Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride for their third year supporting the event.

Cafe One is a social enterprise by Mission Australia that provides training and employment pathways for young people, helping build confidence, skills and real-world hospitality experience in a supportive environment.

This year, their amazing trainees and team will once again be travelling the full 780km journey with C2K, supplying coffee to riders, volunteers and crews across all 7 days of the adventure.

We love having Cafe One as part of the C2K community and are proud to support organisations creating meaningful opportunities and positive impact in our communities.

Please make sure you stop by, grab a coffee and say hello to the team along the way.

Welcome back to the adventure, Cafe One.

Not all heroes wear capes… although at C2K, some definitely do 🦸🚴

Superhero Day has become one of the many fun traditions that makes the Cardzilla Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride so much more than just a bike ride.

Who’s getting excited?

Great experience! We love the Sunset Tour from Croydon… and some of our riders even prefer to race the train all the way to Normanton! 🚂🚴‍♂️

Out here, there’s a different kind of recharge. 🔋

Step aboard the Gulflander and slow things down as you journey through Queensland’s Gulf Savannah.

Travelling between Normanton and Croydon, this iconic outback experience takes you through remote country rich in history and scenery most people never get to see.

Timetabled services and tours commence from next week Wednesday 3 June. Plan your recharge 🚂 https://bit.ly/3KZZOBo
