Whether you're a Chase The Sun veteran or newbie, there's no better expression of the essence of the CTS ethos and experience: coast to coast, sunrise to sunset, 200+ miles in one day.

And alongside this, director Michael Clifford weaves togther multiple stories and themes, all with the ultimate aim of exploring the power of the humble bicycle to transform individual lives and communities and to help save the planet.

CHASE THE SUN IS HEADLINE SPONSOR OF PASS THE PEDALL 2024 Chase the Sun are delighted to announce that we are supporting the PASS THE PEDALL charity fundraising challenge this September. At Chase the Sun we are increasingly looking to support wider cycling community initiatives, with the aim of helping to encourage everyone to appreciate the benefits of cycling. PEDALL New Forest Inclusive Cycling is an organisation that ensures that regardless of physical or intellectual ability, age or confidence level, riders are able to enjoy and explore the natural beauty of the New Forest by cycle. Pass the PEDALL is a sponsored fundraiser, a dawn-to-dusk relay challenge taking place at New Park Manor in Brockenhurst on Wednesday 18th September 2024. The event will bring PEDALL’s inclusive cycling community together to ensure a ‘Pedal Baton’ keeps moving between multiple groups of riders who between them will aim to cycle non-stop for 12 hours. Chase the Sun is sponsoring the event and a team of riders fundraising for PedALL inclusive cycling charity based in the New Forest. "PEDALL are such a brilliant charity project helping many people benefit from cycling who may not otherwise get a chance to ride – whether it is a challenge to ride for an hour, or all day until sunset – at Chase the Sun we hope to support everyone to ‘keep on pedalling’ towards the mental and physical benefits of cycling for all!” Olly Moore, Chase the Sun Founder Find out how you can support our fund-raising efforts for PEDALL: https://lnkd.in/eTevm92Z
