Ride for a reason history
Established in 2009, Ride for a reason is South Australia’s leading cycling program, giving participants the chance to challenge themselves while also raising vital funds for Cancer Council.
Since the event started, Ride for a reason participants have raised more than $4 million for Cancer Council, funding ground-breaking cancer research, support and prevention programs to ensure that every day, we are working towards a cancer free future.

Earn your kit
The Ride for a reason team has been working in conjunction with Santini to design the latest Ride for a reason kit!
We think it is the best yet—but we’ll let you be the judge! Raise funds (or donate to yourself) and earn your kit today!
Raise
$100
Earn a pair of UV sleeves
As soon as you kick off your fundraising and raise your first $100 (that’s probably one email to a few mates) you’ll get a pair of UV cycling sleeves. These lightweight sleeves offer UPF 50+
protection in summer, won’t heat you up
and are so much easier
than applying sunscreen.
Raise
$500
Earn a jersey
Once you raise $500 you will earn an exclusive Ride for a reason Santini cycling jersey. Wear it with pride and show your support for Ride for a reason on the road! Don’t forget to tag us
on social media and send photos of you
in your kit into us.
Raise
$1000
Earn the full kit PLUS ride
in the Challenge Tour for FREE!
Upon raising $1,000 you’ll earn the exclusive Ride for a reason Santini cycling knicks to complete your kit! Show your dedication to beating cancer by wearing your full kit out on the road! To thank and reward everyone who raises $1,000, the Santos Tour Down Under
will reimburse your entry into the Challenge
Tour (your rego will be reimbursed after the event).
