Previously known as the Mall 2 Mall Ride, in 2009 this popular ride sports the new name of the Brisbane 2 Ipswich Challenge, and forms an integral part of the annual Ipswich Festival which is held each April.

The Challenge usually attracts around 1000 participants, and this year will begin at the Moorlands Park in Toowong and then head out to Ipswich to finish in Queens Park, covering 50km.

The purpose of the ride is not only to spread a message of goodwill and encourage greater links and cooperation between the Ipswich and Brisbane communities, it is also about encouraging people to get out and exercise, as well as raise monies for the Ipswich Hospital Foundation and the Royal Children’s Hospital Foundation.

When: Sunday 26 April 2009 at 7.00am

Where: Moorlands Park, Toowong

After the ride enjoy the BBQ in Queens Park with other weathered cyclists, or check out the other activities that are part of the Ipswich Festival.
