Die Burger MTB Challenge takes place this Sunday (31 July) and is one of South Africa’s largest one-day mountain bike events.
Good news for riders that still want to join in the fun, as late entries will be taken on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at registration venues.
No late entries, changes to distances or substitution on the day of the event though! Event clothing will be for sale at all the venues and at the finish carnival.
Registration TIMES & VENUES:
- Thursday, 28 July (Dirtopia Trail Centre, R44, Stellenbosch): 12h00-18h30
- Friday, 29 July (Sports Science Institute Conference Centre, Newlands): 12h00 – 18h30
- Saturday, 30 July (Laerskool Eikestad, Stellenbosch): 09h00 – 13h00
The event is in its eleventh year and is renowned for its challenging and picturesque Wineland routes. The 75km, 60km and 42km routes are being held in association with the Simonsberg Conservancy. The new 50km route which leads to the south-eastern part of this scenic Boland town, is actually easier than the more technical and tougher 42km route. Children and novices can also enjoy the 30km and 15km that starts and ends the same direction as the 50km.
At the finish line there will be kid’s entertainment from Spur, food & drink, massages, stalls and medals to all finishers. Stay for the prizegiving and a lucky draw where a Giant bike can be won, accommodation vouchers and wonderful Stellenbosch wines!
Late entry prices vary between R150 and R400, while the 75km is on invitation only. There will be very good refreshment stations along the routes and riders use private land around town that is not normally open to public. Medi-Clinic will have a mobile hospital at the finish
