SATURDAY 26th SEPTEMBER 2026
ALL AGES WELCOME TO RIDE
Chase The Sun is partnering with Pass The PedALL festival again in 2026. This September we’re inviting all ages and families to join in our Chase The Sun Kids Pedall Challenge … get on your bikes together for a fun autumn day out in the New Forest!
Location: New Park Manor, nr Brockenhurst, New Forest, SO42 7QH SEE MAP HERE
Travel: The heart of the New Forest is very well connected by train and road from London, Southampton, Winchester, and Bournemouth. The event site is a pleasant 5km from Brockenhurst Rail Station (see suggested travel route below).
Please join us for couple of hours, or as much of the day as you like, all the family can ride for as long or as little as you choose – its a chance for all ages to have a go cycling in a fun and safe off-road environment… it’s all about being fun and inclusive for all abilities and capabilities. (PedAll offer a range of adapted cycles, trikes and tandems catering for all accessibility needs.) There will be food and drink on site, and there’s plenty to do in the surrounding forest area to explore too.
The event day will run from 7am – 7pm (sunrise to sunset) across Saturday September 26th – Chase The Sun are co-hosting the PASS THE PEDALL / Chase the Sun Challenge, with our charity parters PEDALL inclusive cycling. Join us at New Park Manor, near Brockenhurst in the beautiful New Forest for a day of pedal powered cycling activity, fun, games, food and drink!
