TATURA 200 CHARITY BIKE RIDE

Location: VIC
Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025

The Tatura 200 Charity Bike Ride & Walk returns for its 14th year, bringing cyclists and walkers together to support local Goulburn Valley charities. Since its inception in 2008, this community-focused event has raised over $1 million for regional organisations. The 2024 edition introduces an enhanced festival atmosphere with all routes starting and finishing at the Tatura Italian Social Club, featuring live music, refreshments, and lawn games for both participants and spectators.

Unlike many cycling events, the TAT200 prioritises inclusivity over competition, offering distances suitable for everyone from serious cyclists tackling the signature 200km route to families enjoying the 25km ride or 10km walk. With rolling countryside vistas, orchard-lined roads, and the stunning Waranga Basin, participants experience the region's scenic beauty while contributing to a worthy cause.
