Recognised internationally as the world’s premier annual event celebrating the sport of high-wheel racing since 1983, the 2026 National Penny Farthing Championships draws over 50 passionate riders from across Australia and around the globe — including England, Canada, Germany, Belgium, Finland and beyond.
Our APFA Founder, April Fong, and Honorary President, Simon Weir have both distinguished themselves in the elite men’s and ladies’ races, achieving outstanding results that continue to inspire our association with pride and courage.
Thousands of enthusiastic spectators line the streets to witness this unforgettable celebration of heritage cycling. Amid a full day of exhilarating races, APFA’s limited edition souvenirs from Hong Kong are warmly shared with international competitors, fostering lasting friendships that transcend borders.
