THE LONG RIDE AUSTRALIA 2025
Bringing bike enthusiasts together, on a life-changing ride, to raise awareness and funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia
THE ULTIMATE ROADIE - WITH A PURPOSE!
Riding to Esperance, WA
11-18 October 2025
The Long Ride Australia is a motorbike tour that makes a difference and raises awareness and funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. It offers the opportunity for the ride of a lifetime, riding together with a group of people who quickly become friends. Each night you’ll stay in a different town and explore new places in beautiful locations you may otherwise never visit.
Riders depart from all States and Territories, travelling through regional Australia, before meeting to ride together to Esperance, WA.
The Long Ride enables riders to experience freedom and mateship while raising awareness of prostate cancer and men’s health.
Registrations will open early 2025. Join the Facebook Group for updates.
On this ride, we remember all those that have passed, and those that cannot ride, who are forever in our hearts.
ABOUT:
Chris and Gail Dunne developed the idea of the Long Ride in 2004 when Chris was nearing retirement from the RAAF. The 2025 Long Ride will be the 13th ride since its inception.
VETERANS GETTING BEHIND IT:
With a veteran leading the charge, it’s no wonder the event has and continues to receive strong support from the Defence community. Around half of the riders are veterans.
REGISTRATION:
Join a great crew of people who share a common love for riding, which often becomes the basis of lifelong friendships.
Registrations will open late Jan 2025 on the Long Ride website.
WHY JOIN US?
Experience freedom and mateship, do something awesome, and do it for a good cause. Riders participate to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others.
Previous riders will tell you that the ride has changed them in many ways. You quickly come to realise that whatever is troubling you, others have the same problem, and you realise you are not alone. This ride will enable you to overcome personal issues, make new friends, make a difference in your community and help others nationally to save the lives of people you do not know by raising money to support men affected by prostate cancer.
Riders stay in different towns each night and explore different sights in magnificent locations each day.
This is the real thing, life on the road.
FUNDRAISING for PROSTATE CANCER
Every dollar raised will be donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) to fund life-saving research and support services offered to men affected by prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men, with over 25,000 men diagnosed each year. Tragically 10 men die each day from the disease, with 1 in 5 likely to be diagnosed by the age of 85.
Each participant is encouraged to fundraise at least $1,000 in donations or sponsorship.
