The Event

The Ride Against Cancer is to directly raise funds for our Northern Territory Alan Walker Cancer Care Centre. It is a family and community friendly event where parents, families, individuals and teams can come down for one day of the year to the V8 Supercars Hidden Valley Raceway and complete from one up to sixty-six laps.

The event was instigated by a Motorsports NT member Mr Clive Baxter who wanted to contribute back to the Alan Walker Cancer Care Centre that helped him and his late wife Chantal during some very difficult times. The endeavour is to complete 66 laps overall, in memory of Chantal who passed away at age 66 and for all our family and friends who have passed away from cancer.

66 Laps for Chantal Incorporated works with Motorsports NT to run this annual event which started in 2023 and enables our community to directly donate and raise funding for our family and friends who may need support and treatment at the fantastic Alan Walker Cancer Care Centre.

You can ride a pushbike, walk, run, skate, push a trolley or enter in a wheelchair, basically anything on wheels that is mostly human powered.

The Hidden Valley racetrack is approximately three (3) kilometres long, so we advise bring some water and sunscreen, hat (slip, slop, slap) and enjoy your only chance of the year to get around a V8 Supercar track, while contributing to a great cause.

All proceeds will go to the Alan Walker Cancer Care centre to assist in the purchase of specialist equipment and support for patients and families
