Ride with us May 27 – June 2, 2024!

7 Days is an epic cycling event when participants support ground-breaking pancreatic cancer research – and have a lot of fun in the process!

Over 1,100 km in 7 days. It’s a challenge, but you won’t do it alone. Join a close-knit team of riders for seven days of cycling toward a common goal: raising the rate of pancreatic cancer survival. For those unable to make the commitment for the full seven-day ride, there are alternative options available that give you the flexibility to join the ride for however long you prefer (one-day, weekend, three days or more). So, whether you’re an aspiring or returning rider, there is an opportunity for you to be part of our incredible cycling community.

If you’re looking for an intimate, intense and impactful cycling and fundraising experience that aims to change the trajectory of pancreatic cancer, you’ve arrived at the right place.

How does it work?

1. Select and register to ride! Accepting the challenge is the first step on this incredible journey.

2. Reach out to your community to let them know about your ride. Create and personalize your fundraising page with your fundraising goal and what motivated you to join 7 Days. Once complete, reach out to your network and ask for support of your efforts. Don’t worry, we’ll share fundraising tips and support you along the way!

3. Train for your ride. We’ll share tips to get you ready and connect you with other riders to share your progress and get to know each other.

4. It’s time for the rubber to meet the road! Join your fellow riders and set off on a challenging, fulfilling, and fun adventure. Enjoy the ride!

“I wanted to do something that felt ‘larger than life’ and ‘earn’ every penny we raised. I have come back in some capacity each year since because of the people. It’s rare to find yourself amongst such an amazing group of riders and people who do this because they can – and if you can, why wouldn’t you?” Danielle

The Route

Click on the map on the right to see an interactive version of the 7 Days 2024 route.

The people you meet and the friendships you make when you set out on this adventure are priceless. Each day’s ride is filled with great scenery, changing weather, flat tires, and the sight of the support vehicle for another snack break, but the best time is at the end of the day when we all get together, have a beer, and relive the days awesome ride.

Rider Safety

The safety and wellbeing of our riders is paramount.  Experienced riders are already aware of the inherent risks of our chosen activity, our roads are busy (and sometimes hostile) places. But we should also be aware of our responsibilities to other road-users, and the benefits of riding defensively. Generally, we are well received and acknowledged for what we’re doing, and receive great encouragement en route, but we make every attempt to mitigate risk. So, here’s what happens:

  • All riders are provided with access to GPS downloads of the daily routes.
  • Everyone carries a mobile phone and key contact details.
  • There are daily pre-ride safety briefings, route overview, hazard identification and end-of-day reviews.
  • Significant emphasis is placed on ‘safe group riding’ and rules of the road, as well as proven best practices.
  • Ride leaders marshal groups through built-up or congested areas and construction.
  • We ride smart, signalling road hazards to each other.
  • We’ve ‘got each others backs’, whether it’s physical or mechanical – no-one gets left behind.

Van Support

The wellbeing of our riders is essential. Despite our modest size, riders enjoy a level of in-ride support second to none. Our three Support and Gear (SAG) wagons are staffed by an incredible team of volunteers who are both familiar with the routes and critical to keeping your bike, body and mind on the road. They are a welcome sight with refreshment stations every 25-30 km and they actively scan the route as the group(s) ‘stretch out’ during the day to be on hand when needed. We couldn’t do it without them!

Personal Risk

Cycling carries inherent risks, including the possibility of accident, injury, and/or death.  You should consider speaking to your insurance professional(s) about purchasing first party insurance to protect yourself against these risks and their consequences.
