The ultimate roadie with a purpose!

This biennial event brings together 300+ riders from seven states on a group motorbike ride across Australia. While each journey is unique, all riders come together with a common destination: Port Douglas. As a charitable event all funds raised go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.

The RSL Remembrance Ride provides an opportunity for veterans to challenge themselves in a mentally supportive environment whilst riding a scenic trail. Expressions of interest are now open.

RSL Active has created virtual Clubs for Cyclists and Runners/Walkers using the popular Strava App. Join and connect with a like-minded community, share common goals and participate in friendly challenges all while keeping fit!

The Clubs are open to veterans and their families from all across Australia, so no matter where you are based you can get involved – it is surprisingly motivating!

Fluro Friday’s are conducted at beaches all across Australia. Join a sunrise surfing session, dress up in the brightest outfits possible and share stories and surf to raise awareness of mental health. Everyone is welcome and you don't need to be a great surfer to be involved.

Parkrun delivers weekly 5km events in parks across the country, coordinated entirely by local volunteers. Parkrun is focused on bringing together communities and having fun. It’s a great way for veterans and their families to connect with the wider veteran community each week. Run, walk, or roll – everybody is welcome!

Saltwater Veterans give all current and ex-serving ADF members the opportunity to get together and out on the water for free (or very low cost)! Check out their website for upcoming events taking place in Sydney, Nowra and Adelaide.

Getting out in the bush can provide the circuit breaker needed to improve mental wellbeing. Trojan’s Trek takes ex-service personnel on wilderness adventures and provides peer to peer support and therapy.

The ADF Adaptive Sport Program is a multi-sport program for wounded, injured or ill serving and former serving military personnel and includes both domestic and international events.

Due to popular demand, the Remembrance Ride was back again in November taking on 435kms of the High Monaro.

In August 2023 RSL Australia sponsored a team of veterans to participate and compete in the fast-paced and exciting sport of Drone Racing at the Australian Drone Nationals in Townsville.
