PCHF CEO Carrick Robinson said, “We’re honoured to team up with Cape to Cape MTB, an iconic WA race that shares the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to pushing for the very best for our state and its people.

“By riding and raising funds, participants will make a direct impact on the lives of WA’s sickest kids. From Margaret River to Broome, whenever a child needs expert paediatric care, it’s PCH that families turn to – WA’s leading centre for excellence in children’s health.”

Cape to Cape MTB is the ultimate test for riders – a four-day, 200km adventure through Margaret River’s world-class trails and scenery. Whether tackling it solo, in a duo, or opting for the single-day 50km challenge, the event is designed for all levels of riders with a good fitness base and a love of the outdoors.

Cape to Cape MTB Co-owner and Race Director Bill Hayes said, “The South West and Margaret River have been supporters and hosts of Cape to Cape MTB for close to 20 years and the launch of Cape Kids will bring the local community even closer to the event.

“We know there are lots of kids out on the trails and we wanted to provide an opportunity for them to join in with the event. We hope to see many of them go on to ride the event in the coming years.”

Shire of Augusta Margaret River President Julia Jean-Rice said: “Cape Kids will be a fantastic way to kick off the excitement of the Cape to Cape MTB. This new kids-focused event will give children the chance to be part of this iconic event, while also creating a welcoming space for families to connect, participate and celebrate the sport and the outdoor lifestyle we all love.”
