The Crankin for Cancer Carnival attracted 190 riders to the Les Stagg BMX track on Saturday, with riders travelling from Cairns, Townsville, Ayr, Mackay, Sarina, Walkerstone, Moranbah and Rockhampton.

Byron Chauntler won the Crankin for Cancer race, while also claiming the 11-year boys division.

Other winners on the day included Isabella Allan (10-year girls), Taylor Kerr (15-year girls), Kira Allan (pro women) and Peter Little (pro men).

Little also won the Dash for Cash worth $250 while the club's mini wheelers stole the show early.
