Mountain bike-loving kids can be part of the iconic Cape to Cape MTB with the return of Cape Kids.

Held the day before the official four-day event in the heart of Margaret River township, Cape Kids gives children aged 6 to 17 the chance to be a part of the action! 

Starting at the Margaret River Playing Fields (adjacent to Margaret River HEART), kids ride a short, sharp loop and specifically curated course, including the Margaret River BMX track, and all participants will receive a participant medal and a C2C race plate to proudly display on their bikes.

The event is part of a family-friendly festival featuring food trucks, entertainment and the chance to watch some of Australia's top mountain bikers compete in the Open Invitational Prologue

The Shire of Augusta Margaret River is proud to support Cape to Cape MTB through our Major Events Grants Program. Events like these bring our community together, inspire healthy lifestyles, and continue to grow in ways that benefit everyone.
