Countdown to event
Join us for the Ruralco Longbeach Coastal Challenge On Sunday, November 29, 2026
Experience a day of mountain biking, running, and walking—designed with both competitive and social participants in mind. This family-friendly event offers fun for all ages and abilities. Organized collaboratively by Longbeach School and Hinds and Districts Lions Club, this marks our 19th annual event! All proceeds support our local community.
This year is the second year of our 70km cycling challenge! We are also excited to run the third year of our Duathlon event with the inclusion of a team option. One of you can take on the running while the other team member cycles.
Furthermore it will be our third Schools Team Cycling Race after introducing this in 2024 - who will take the trophy this year?
We look forward to your entries for another exhilarating event.
