Mountain Bike Challenge - Barberton in Barberton

The first leg of the MTN Nissan National Mountain Bike series is set to kick off in Barberton, Mpumalanga. This race once again promised to bring the best, and worse out of each cyclist, young and old, fit and unfit.

This race also forms the foundation for the Barberton Rotary Club to raise much needed funds for a number of different charities. The Barberton Rotary Club has been part of this event for the past 14 years.


There will be four different races in which you can compete:

• The ultra marathon (120 Km) is a combination of the marathon and half marathon routes
• The marathon (75km) for the professional, tough and hardy
• The half marathon (45km) for the average mountain bike rider
• The fun rides (10km & 20km) for the family group

This is a race fit for the whole family and definitely not to be missed.

Registering can be done on Friday 27 January 2012 at Barberton High School from 15h00 to 21h00 and Saturday 28 January from 05h30. All races will start and end at the Barberton High School.

Please Note: Dates for this event to be confirmed.
