Expect flying chips, flashing spokes, fast feet, close finishes!
World-class choppers... yes, World Champions here. A chopping showdown between a father and a son. A crazy fast Italian taking on some of the most entertaining cyclists from the Carnival Series. Expect fireworks... not the New Year's Eve kind. Powerhouse mother of five and recent grandmother, Suzanne States and other 2025 Wheelrace Winners like Jack Hadley and Emily Walker. There will be wily running veterans like Luke Whitney Rebecca VON SAMORZEWSKI showing some serious spe

There's more to St Helens Carnival than the Nude Gift.
Ok, to be fair... the Nude Gift - at midnight on the beach - hasn't been run for quite a few years, but the Carnival is not over. It just keeps giving.

Thanks to all who contributed. The competition has been brilliant!
Lots of photos to remember your Carnival series 2026/26. A huge thank you to Caroline Tan, (CTcreatives) for the countless hours she spent shooting, curating, retouching, and enhancing thousands of images. Also to Josh Natera - Cycling Photos Tasmania - for the brilliant images of the cyclists and runners. Might need to change the name to Cycling and Running Photos Tasmania. And Tyler Stretton for capturing some great images at Rosebery. Images can be found on individual car

Clark-like Wheel win, highlight of Burnie Carnival!
Elite men’s backmakers have had a lean patch in the handicap events in this Carnivals series, but lone scratchman, Graeme Frislie, turned the clock back to 1977 with a miraculous Clark-like win in the William Adams/Elphinstone Group Wheelrace. With sprint-star, Sam Gallagher providing support early, Frislie still looked an unlikely winner in the middle stages of the race, but used powerful Queenslander, Toby Jones as a stepping stone, to reduce the gap. With more than two

100s of Championships and medals between them! See them!
Spectator heaven! It’s simply thrilling! You can literally feel the speed... and it’s free to watch! If you’ve never seen one, you don’t know what you’re missing! The high-speed thrills of a street race by the river in Ulverstone. Get up close... feel the noise. Fun to race, fantastic to watch. There will be races for juniors, a variety of grades and the super-stars, here for the Christmas Carnival series. Better than watching the Tour de France if you want to do more than sn

Nobody to international star in a few months!
Shannon Winchester went from a sprinting nobody to a global figure in a matter of months. True story. The short story goes something like this. Suffers a brain injury from a motorbike accident in 2017. Has a 'joke' sprint race against a workmate. Saw Alexa Leary dominate at the Paralympic Games. Looked into Para-athletics in 2025. Classified through the Future Green & Gold program in March. Represented Australia at World's. Competing in the able-bodied fields at Tassie

Don't panic! The King is coming to Devonport and Burnie.
He’s all good. Just a little cramp. Just a rumour. Don’t miss him piling on the power to run down a quality field in Devonport and Burnie that’s waaaay out front. Some of the speedsters with almost a lap start!!!! Stewart McSweyn is likely to have some company at the back for a change, with James Hanson just 20metres in front at both Devonport and Burnie and para-sensation Angus Hinksman a further 30 out. To add some spice, Devonport Athletic Club has put up a fistful of ca
