Event Day

What to expect on the day

The Big Spin for Sick Kids kicks off bright and early at 8am on Friday September 5, set on the stunning Bennelong Lawn, right in front of the Sydney Opera House.

With the harbour as your backdrop and the buzz of the city around you, you’ll be part of an unforgettable 12-hour challenge with one powerful purpose: helping sick kids keep their families close.

Expect a high-energy atmosphere from the moment you arrive. Whether you're riding solo or with a team, the day is packed with activities to keep spirits high and pedals turning.

There's only one golden rule: someone must be riding your team’s bike at all times. 

Here's what to expect on the day:

• Gourmet Food Trucks – Grab a bite from a rotating line-up of delicious eats and coffee options. Vegetarian and vegan choices will be available too.

• Live DJs – Professional DJs will be spinning all day with high-energy tracks, throwback hits and feel-good favourites to keep you moving.

• Spin Instructor Sessions – Throughout the day, expert instructors will lead high-intensity sessions to keep the energy up and your legs pumping.
