Challenge has announced a host of prizes up for grabs when the 2013 KTM Ride4Kids is held at Wonthaggi’s Dandenong Motorcycle Club on Sunday, 20 October.

It is the biggest charity motocross event in the country which raises funds for Challenge, an organisation that supports children living with cancer and their families.

Ride4Kids is a full day of non-competitive riding where participants can ride in motocross and enduro events. All sessions are an open practice format with no actual racing so people of all ages and abilities can get involved. A pee-wee track is also available for first time riders.

In addition to an entry fee to ride, participants are encouraged to raise money for Challenge by asking friends and family to sponsor them or make a donation. Riders can also set up an online fundraising page by clicking here.

The prizes announced are as follows:

  • The first 50 entrants will receive a free Ride4Kids beanie
  • The overall highest fundraiser will win a 2014 KTM 85 SX valued at $6995
  • All riders who raise $300 or more will go in the draw to win a second 2014 KTM 85 SX valued at $6995!
  • Everyone who raises at least $300 will also win a Peter Stevens Motorcycles gift voucher valued at $50 provided by the Vincent Chiodo Charitable Foundation in conjunction with Peter Stevens Motorcycles
  • The top 10 highest fundraisers will also be rewarded with some fantastic race-gear from event supporters Scott, Fox and O’Neal Racing

Challenge CEO, David Rogers, said the emphasis of Ride4Kids is on having fun.

“The event is a great opportunity for riders to have a great day on a professional track while raising much-needed funds for children living with cancer,” he said.

“Those not riding can also enjoy some great trackside entertainment including a barbecue lunch and the chance to watch all the action of the 2013 MotoGP on the big screen, which is happening on the same day.”

Camping facilities are available for $20 per car, per night.
