Pollie Pedal is one of Australia’s most enduring multi-day charity road endurance events, uniting politicians, corporate leaders, and passionate cyclists on a continuous long-distance journey through regional communities. Riding hundreds of kilometres over consecutive days, participants test their physical resilience while engaging with local towns, schools, and community groups along the route.

Established in 1998, the ride has covered tens of thousands of kilometres across regional Australia and raised millions of dollars for charitable causes. In recent years, the event has partnered directly with Diabetes Australia, directing vital fundraising efforts toward diabetes research, prevention programs, and community support initiatives that benefit millions of Australians living with or at risk of the condition.

The event caters to experienced road riders capable of maintaining a steady group pace over consecutive long-distance days. Riding in structured peloton formations under full support, cyclists form deep connections with fellow participants, federal and state parliamentarians, and local residents at every community stop.
