A POPULAR off-road cycling challenge is returning to entertain the Forest of Dean and its visitors for another year.

The challenge, known as the Wild Boar Chase, will be heading to Speech House Field on Sunday, September 20 in its 14th running of the event.

It is organised entirely by volunteers from Severn Dean Lions Club and Forest of Dean Lions Club. Every penny of profit goes to good causes in the Forest of Dean. Many tracks used are ones you may not see on the road.

Organisers said that since its inception, the two Lions clubs have raised over £150,000 for local charities, youth groups and families in need.

More information can be found on the Wild Boar Chase website.
