To be held on Sunday, October 20 2013 at the Dandenong Motorcycle Club in Wonthaggi (Vic), Ride4Kids is a full day of non-competitive motocross and enduro riding.

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 at www.everydayhero.com.au/event/ride4kids2013.
The overall highest fundraiser will win a 2014 KTM 85 SX valued at $6995. In addition, all riders who raise $300 or more will go in the draw to win a second 2014 KTM 85 SX. The top 10 highest fundraisers will also be rewarded with some fantastic prizes 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 Moto GP on the big screen, which is happening on the same day."
