Introducing the BDR Ride to the Top

We're excited to announce that our  'Long Ride to the Top' event has been renamed  BDR Ride to the Top.

The new name strengthens the connection to Black Dog Ride while reflecting the spirit and purpose of this iconic event.

While the name has changed, everything you know and love about the ride remains the same.  BDR Ride to the Top will continue to bring riders together from across Australia to raise awareness of mental health, encourage meaningful conversations, and help reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness.

We look forward to welcoming riders, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters to the next  BDR Ride to the Top as we continue riding to make a difference.

Thank you for being part of the Black Dog Ride community.

Change of Venue

Please note that the BDR Ride to the Top Celebration Dinner venue has changed.

Celebration Dinner
The Celebration Dinner will now be held at:
The Magazine
Magazine Street, Stratford QLD 4870

Thunder Run
The Thunder Run will depart and return to the Armour & Artillery Museum. More details will be announced soon.

All other event details remain the same.

Join hundreds of riders on the Black Dog Ride's Long Ride to the Top as we spark a nationwide conversation about depression and suicide prevention.

Ride groups from every state and territory across Australia will travel together toward our final destination — Cairns, QLD — with the journey continuing on the optional Thunder Run.

Be part of this unforgettable adventure, help get Australia talking, and join us as we ride to the top!
