You’ve read about, you’ve heard about it. Now it’s time to saddle up and accept the Hollard JUMA challenge for 2017.
Think you’ve done and ridden it all? Think again, because the Hollard Jozi Urban Mountain Bike Adventure, taking place at Marks Park on the 28th May 2017, is NOT your average mountain bike race.

This isn’t your usual rocks and roots or bushes and bergs. The Hollard JUMA is pedaling (carefully) through storm water drains and down 700-metre tunnels, navigating your way under concrete beams and rocketing your way down custom-built scaffolding. It’s only 2hr flight from the Cape and guaranteed to be even more epic than any race you’ve tried before.
Breathless just reading about it? More exciting details, Braamfontein Spruit development plans and sneak peeks to be announced…
In the meantime, entries open on 21st October 2016. To enter visit www.juma.co.za or come visit our stand at the Africa Cycle Fair from the 21st – 23rd October at Saints St. Stithians College.

The Hollard JUMA will be running a competition to stand a chance to take home some exciting prizes and Hollard JUMA merchandise. All you have to do is enter the Hollard JUMA and take your best “I’ve just accepted the challenge!” selfie to stand a chance to win.
And finally… the most difficult obstacle you need to overcome, for now, is the wait until 28th May 2017.
