Tour de Chaplain Gladstone 2026

About this Event

The 2026 Tour de Chaplain is a family friend bike ride which riders ride at their own pace
through the picturesque Boyne Valley Rail Trail. This ride is from Barrimoon to Many Peaks Grand Hotel a total of 20km, through pretty lookouts and historic rail tunnels. It is well supported with first aiders, drink and snack stops, a BBQ lunch and trophy presentations at the end.  

Riders of all ages are invited to participate including families; please note riders must be a
minimum 10 y/o to ride the course.

Whats it all for?

This is our major annual event which brings financial support as well as
awareness for the school chaplaincy program.  School chaplains are in the prevention and
support business; helping students find a better way to deal with issues ranging from family
breakdown and loneliness to drug abuse, stress and anxiety.

They provide a listening ear and a caring presence for kids in crisis and those who just need a friend; bringing hope to
the next generation. This is done in a variety of ways such as facilitating team-building
programs, camps, brekky clubs, class lessons on resilience and social skills, positive role
modelling and caring conversations.

Thank you for your participation and financial support in helping us to continue meeting
vital needs in our school community through this inspirational ride.

This Year's Route

This year's event will again be held in our beautiful Boyne Valley along the rail trail and similar 23km distance, but some changes have been made. We will begin at Barrimoon rail siding and finish at the Many Peaks Grand Hotel (and mostly downhill which is always good news!) with the Golembil site approx. halfway. There is a shuttle bus available leaving early Saturday morning from the Many Peaks hotel to transport riders and their bikes to the ride start at Barrimoon. Presentations and lunch will be at the ride end.
