Pedal Prix Races Back to Murray Bridge this September
The 24 hour Australian International Pedal Prix, the largest human-powered vehicle (HPV) race in Australia, is returning to Murray Bridge from 18 to 20 September 2026 for an exciting weekend of endurance racing, innovation and community spirit.
Building on nearly four decades of competition, the event will mark the 40th running of Pedal Prix, which has been held at Sturt Reserve since 1997.
The event provides spectators with a unique opportunity to witness engineering excellence, sporting endurance and community camaraderie, all set against the picturesque backdrop of the Murray River.
Event infrastructure installation will begin on Monday 14 September and teams will begin arriving from Friday to prepare for race weekend.
Scrutineering will take place on Friday 18 September, with gates opening from 6am to allow teams to set up their pit areas and prepare their vehicles.
The main event begins at midday on Saturday 19 September, when Mayor Thorley will officially drop the start flag, sending hundreds of riders onto the circuit for 24 hours of non-stop racing. The race will conclude at midday on Sunday 20 September.
