Take the Hollard Jozi Urban Mountain Bike Adventure to the next level in 2015? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!
We are excited to announce that the second Hollard Jozi Urban Mountain Bike Adventure, taking place on the 6h September 2015 in Johannesburg, is now open for entries. Partnering with City Parks and Joburg Zoo, the Hollard JUMA is back and better than ever!
Taking into account all of the feedback received in respect of the 2014 event, the Hollard JUMA team has put major changes into action for 2015. This year riders can look forward to a tougher 54km, with fewer bottlenecks, less congestion (and more water stops!). The batches will now be SAS seeded with 10min between batches. The 54km route will run along the same route as last year but riders can expect a number of improvements (think rubberized ramps), fewer road crossings and fresh new challenges! Most importantly, the 54km & 22km routes will be different this year.
For first time riders, teens and more laid back riders the 22km will be completely separate and way less technical. Don’t be fooled though – while the 22km will definitely be more suited to first timers, it will still offer an excellent introduction to Johannesburg’s urban mountain biking potential.
If the challenge of conquering the mighty City of Johannesburg isn’t enough this year even more amazing prizes, to the total value of over R200 000, will be up for grabs!
The Hollard JUMA is a race for all kinds of riders, from professionals to weekend warriors & newbies and novices. Along with the Elite Categories there will be a variety of entry categories for those of a more creative inclination.
Not hitting the saddle and keen to support? Marks Park will be alive with activities for the whole family with exciting food stalls, a beer garden and the SAB “Gig Rig” music truck.
