Van Gaalen 24Hour MTB

Welcome to the 11th edition of one of the best family fun and team building mountain bike events in South-Africa!

Participants camp on Van Gaalen Cheese Farm and for 24 hours ride either as individuals or in teams of 2, 4 or 6 - 8 riders. The individual or team that completes the greatest number of laps in their category will be the winner.

Those who are more into running than cycling can again enter the 6 Hour Trail RUN – walkers are also welcome!
