LSH Auto Australia Supports Chain Reaction’s 2026 Challenge Rides

LSH Auto Australia is proud to continue its support of the Chain Reaction Challenge, helping riders across Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney as they take part in three annual cycling challenges to raise vital funds for children and families in need.

Having supported the Chain Reaction Challenge since 2019, 2026 marks the eighth year of LSH Auto Australia’s ongoing partnership with the organisation and its commitment to helping support the important causes championed through each Challenge.

The Chain Reaction Challenge brings together teams of riders from across Australia who take on demanding multi-day cycling journeys in support of important charitable organisations. In 2026, the Challenge marked its 20th anniversary, celebrating two decades of supporting children in need through fundraising and community involvement.

Throughout the year, riders from Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney completed their respective 2026 Challenge rides, demonstrating incredible determination, resilience and teamwork while supporting a range of important charitable organisations.

The Melbourne riders completed the first Challenge of the year, undertaking an incredible 1,000 km journey over seven days and raising nearly $910,000 in support of Monash Children’s Hospital and Starlight.

The Brisbane team then took on a week-long journey through New Zealand's North Island, raising more than $560,000 for the AEIOU Foundation for Children with Autism and The Common Good.

Completing the 2026 series, the Sydney riders took on Adelaide and its surrounding regions, raising an incredible $645,749 in support of So They Can and BaptistCare. The funds raised will help contribute towards important education initiatives, community development programs and essential services for children and families in need.

As a proud supporter of the Chain Reaction Challenge, LSH Auto Australia provides vehicles to assist riders throughout each journey, including lead, support, medical and follow vehicles. These vehicles play an important role in helping keep riders safe, supported and on track throughout the challenging routes.

Collectively, the three 2026 rides raised more than $2.1 million for charitable organisations supporting children, families and communities across Australia.

LSH Auto Australia is proud to support the commitment and dedication demonstrated by the riders, organisers and everyone involved in the Chain Reaction Challenge. Supporting initiatives that create meaningful and lasting impact within our communities is an important part of our commitment to giving back.

Congratulations to all riders who completed the 2026 Chain Reaction Challenge and to everyone who contributed to the outstanding fundraising efforts across Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
