Cardzilla Named as Naming Rights Sponsor for the 2026 Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride

The iconic Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride (C2K) is set to return in 2026, with Cardzilla proudly announced as the Naming Rights Sponsor for the event.

Now in its 29th year, the Cardzilla Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride will once again see riders journey 780 kilometres from the Coral Sea to the Gulf of Carpentaria — connecting communities, inspiring participation and supporting regional schools, P&C associations and local groups along the way.

The 2026 ride marks a new chapter for C2K, now operating under new management with the same experienced coordinator, Helena, ensuring the event continues its long tradition of community spirit, regional engagement and support for Far North Queensland’s outback communities.

“We’re thrilled to have Cardzilla on board as our Naming Rights Sponsor for 2026,” said Helena, C2K Ride Manager. 
“Their support helps us deliver an event that brings people together and showcases our beautiful region — not just for the ride, but to celebrate and support the communities that make this journey so special.”

From Cairns to Karumba, local P&Cs and community groups host meals, games and fundraising activities that directly benefit from the event’s participation. The C2K Bike Ride remains instrumental in supporting and strengthening community connections along its 780km route.

Andrew, Steve and Jools, owners of Cardzilla, said they were proud to once again partner with such a meaningful and community-focused event:

“The Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride captures everything we love about living and working in Far North Queensland — teamwork, resilience and community spirit,” said Steve. 
“We’re honoured to support an event that not only showcases our region but also gives back to the towns and people along the way.”

With preparations now underway, the Cardzilla Cairns to Karumba Bike Ride 2026 promises another unforgettable adventure for riders and supporters alike.
