MEDIA RELEASE
Get on your bike to help the FNQ Hospital Foundation in the inaugural Sea FM Give Me Five For Kids Fun Ride.
The charity ride is part of The Subway Cairns Esplanade Festival of Sport on Sunday June 21.
It is the perfect environment to encourage kids to get on their bikes safely with a 16km ride around the Esplanade and CBD.
Participants will be able to get their bikes and helmets checked by Pump n Pedals and engraved by police who will be joining the event.
The Subway Cairns Esplanade Festival of Sport is Cairns’ largest multi-disciplinary community sporting event with a variety of athletic events and free community activities sure to please both families and serious athletes.
For the early starters there will be the 1.5km Sportscene Ocean Swim and back by popular demand is the exciting Pump n Pedals Cycling Criterium, a fast paced event looping around the Esplanade.
A new event this year, the Cairns Crocs Short Course Triathlon is to encourage everyone to try a tri. For the serious athletes, the Pump n Pedals Coral Coast Triathlon, now in its 27th year, will see the return of a number of Legends – triathletes who have competed in at least 15 of the prestigious Coral Coast events.
The Pak Mag Kids Triathlon will put the region’s young athletes to the test, while the Your Fitness 2.5km and 10km Fun Runs will finish the day’s sport and recreation activities.
Bigger and better this year is the Cairns Esplanade Sport and Recreation Expo at Fogarty Park. The expo is free with giveaways, sporting demonstrations and more than 15 sport and recreation groups on display.
The Subway Cairns Esplanade Festival of Sport wraps up in the evening with a free family concert on the Fogarty Park stage.
The Subway Cairns Esplanade Festival of Sport is on Sunday June 21 from 7.30am to 7pm. See the website for specific event times and to register. Costs vary for each event.
