First Pedal Cup Set for Potchefstroom - 4 October

Local Event for Young Riders

Potchefstroom’s very own First Pedal is hosting the First Pedal Cup on Saturday, 4 October 2025, at Ferdinand Postma High School. The event is tailored for children aged 2 to 6 years, with the day beginning bright and early at 07:30 for 08:00.

About the Cup

This home-grown balance bike event is designed to give toddlers the chance to race without pedals or pressure. The focus is on fun, confidence-building, and coordination. Riders will take part in age-appropriate heats, cheered on by parents and supporters, and every participant receives a medal.

The idea is simple: create a safe, energetic space where young children can discover the joy of cycling. Or as locals might put it, “start them off on two wheels before they can even reach the biscuit tin on the counter.”

Registration and Entry Fee

Entries cost R220 per child, and registration closes on 12 September 2025. Kids must bring their own balance bikes and helmets, no helmet, no ride.

Photos and videos from the day will also be shared on social media, so families should bring plenty of energy, and maybe practise smiling through the dust.

First Pedal is clear that while every effort will be made to ensure a safe and smooth day, they can’t take responsibility for accidents. Parents may want to keep a few plasters handy, just in case the road rash beats the race.
