AS FEATURED IN
When most people hear the word “Cannonball” they generally think of the comedy road trip movies from the 70’s. Good fun they were too.
But this has always been a motorcycle story – one that dates back over a 100 years and is as fascinating as it is inspiring.
The Privilege of a Lifetime.
The opportunity to create something so amazing and spend time every year with THE most incredible group of riders you could ever imagine, has been, and will always remain, the privilege of a lifetime.

TESTIMONIALS
Very professional & super well organised. I have done 2 Cannonballs in the past and had a fantastic time. Great routes, great hotels & awesome people. I look forward to doing more events in future. Highly recommended.
We both had thought Cannonball Bike Run is just a one time thing that gets crossed off the bucket list. But holy crap! It’s the best thing ever and we are totally doing it again!
Amazing trip, it's now a yearly event! Always so excited to go and so sad to leave.
The formula for this event keeps me coming back year after year. It brings people together from all walks of life that share the same passion and become the best of friends. The organisers are deeply passionate about the event and have continually developed it over the years. This is one of the most ambitious runs yet and I expect it to be truly epic.
Cannonball Bike Run is definitely one of the coolest adventures I've ever been on!
7 Days of White Hot Living.
“We’re warping up a mountainside, trees thinning as fast as the oxygen. Apparently the scenery is amazing but I neither notice nor care. The Cannonball is 7 days of white hot living out of a year of normality.”
