On the 20 November 2011 Tamborine Mountain (Mt Tamborine) will host the increasingly popular charity sporting event, Tour de Tamborine.
Now in its 7th year, Tour de Tamborine provides an amazing cycle, run / walk event, catering to over 1000 people.
Last year the Tour de Tamborine broke all records - with nearly 800 participants and an outstanding $30,000 raised for local charities and organisations.
Events start early around 6.00am from the Tamborine Mountain Sport and Recreation Complex:
- 6.00am 76km cycle
- 6.10am 26km cycle
- 6.20am 5km cycle
- 6.30am 15km walk/run
- 6.40am 10km walk/run
- 6.50am 5km walk/run
This year, cycling participants will be able to use digital timing devices, to time their cycle but be sure to register online early and check in early on the day to grab your digital timing device.
Tour de Tamborine is not a race, but a fun and friendly cycle, run and walk event.
The 2011 event will feature a 'First in Best Dressed', market stalls and family activities to participate in as well as lots of gourmet food and drink.
All the energy expended is for a great cause. The Tour de Tamborine strives to provide support for local youth and community organisations and initiatives that are unable to obtain sufficient funding from other official sources.
This is achieved by a team of local volunteers with a passion for their community whom raise money through cycling, running and walking events promoting family, fun, fitness, health and wellbeing.
Online registrations are closing on the 17 November 2011 but you are able to register on the day. If you would like to participate be sure to secure your registration online at: http://regonline.activeglobal.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=998149
