The award-winning Bowral Classic is back! Are you up for the challenge of riding the ultimate Gran Fondo event?

Since the inaugural event in 2016, the Bowral Classic has become a staple fixture in the cycling calendar. With four courses to choose from, all showcasing the most beautiful scenery you can experience on two wheels, there is a course to suit everyone’s ability.

Join Team Wish to take on the challenge and make wishes come true for sick kids at the same time.

Personalise your fundraising page with your story of why you're taking on the challenge. Then share it with friends and family, collect donations and help make wishes come true. Every dollar counts!

Make your way to Bowral for the big event between 19-20 October 2024. Give it your best, and know that wherever you place, you're part of the team making wishes come true for sick kids across the country.

I don’t think people realise how important wishes are for kids. They are going through hell and it gives them a distraction and something to look forward to.
