HUNGER RIDE PEDALS TO THE METAL FOR VITAL FOOD RELIEF.

The fifth annual Foodbank Corporate Hunger Ride took place on March 19, 2022, with seven teams taking on the demanding 185-kilometre, one-day ride through Victoria’s stunning high country to raise the equivalent of 300,000 meals for families doing it tough.

Riders represented Asahi, Coles, AusNet Services, Costa, SafeRoads, Aesop and Foodbank. Craig Bingham, CEO of our major sponsor for the event, Bennelong Funds Management, scored the coveted green jersey for raising the most individual funds. Event sponsor Montague JAZZTM Apples ensured there was always a fresh supply of nutritious snacks for our riders.

Hunger Ride Ambassadors Baden Cook, winner of the green jersey at the 2003 Tour de France, and SBS ‘voice of cycling’ Matthew Keenan were joined by Australian cycling royalty Cadel Evans who was announced as a special guest ambassador in the lead-up to our event.

Cyclists relished the once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride side by side with Evans and hear his unique cycling stories and insights.

Thanks to Bennelong Funds Management and Montague JAZZTM Apples, as well as all the riders and their donors, the support staff and volunteers, and the incredible team at KSJ Events for helping make The Hunger Ride such a success this year.
