The Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma is WA’s largest cycling event and is a unique fundraising event for the Asthma Foundation of Western Australia. Beginning in 2005, the event was designed to raise awareness and funds for the Asthma Foundation WA. This not-for-profit group is the leading community agency providing quality asthma education, community service, and financial support for research into a cure.

The Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma offers the unique opportunity for participants to cycle freely along the Southbound lanes of the Kwinana and Mitchell Freeways free from all traffic. This is the only occasion during the year that this novelty occurs, allowing thousands of cycling enthusiasts from both Western Australia and interstate to embrace the Freeway Bike Hike for Asthma.

In 2012 the event will see a number of exciting changes including all new start locations north and south of the river. The finish line has also been relocated to Langley Park in Perth, making the event accessible to the entire Perth community.

The event caters for beginners through to elite cyclists and includes three distances to choose from: a 70km Full Hike from Mandurah, a 30km Jetts Fitness Mid Hike from Kwinana or Currambine, or a 10km Mini Hike from Bull Creek or Stirling.

2012 will see the eighth year of this growing event.
