MACA Cancer 200 Ride for Research rides between Perth and Mandurah to conquer cancer
MACA Cancer 200 Ride for Research is a 2 day cycling event with an overnight camp, riding between Perth and Mandurah. Over 1000 cyclists will take on the personal challenge of riding 200km in two days to fight cancer and support medical research at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research.
This ride has rebranded and used to be known as The Ride to Conquer Cancer Perth. It’s still the same ride, but just with a new name!
Over the years, the route has changed. This event starts and finishes at Optus Stadium. The ride out to Mandurah along the inland route which is moderately flat, with lots of stops along the way it is best to adopt the idea that “what is the rush”.
You can expect a solid weekend of riding to cover about 200km, travelling through the back roads and along bike paths. You’ll be camping overnight and can drop off your gear at the start and then collect it at the end. All meals are catered for ie lunch and dinner on Saturday and then breakfast on Sunday.
This is a great community event for a good cause! I have done this event and a small tip, it is best taken as a social ride working together to get everyone there and back. Loved it. Looking forward to this year’s event to ride with many friends and fellow riders.

Having raised funds for the Hary Perkins Institute for 3 x years & Riden the event in 2021 & 2022, I consider this a great riding event.
The 2 x days of riding is made fun by the Volunteers supporting, the rest stops every 20klm’s & by no means is this is race of any sort, it’s more of a reward for raising the much needed funds for Cancer Research.
Hi great event but had some concerns this afternoon for riders crossing the Mandurah bridge and trying to switch lanes amongst traffic on the bridge so.as to navigate the west roundabout to the tents on the eastern foreshore.
Hi Rob, I’d suggest you contact the ride organisers, you can find them here https://www.cancer200.org.au/
