The South African Mountain Bike Race Calendar, presented by Biogen, is an online listing of all mountain bike races in South Africa. It’s divided by province and date with racing disciplines denoted by different colours. The calendar contains limited race information with the link provided taking you to all the information relevant to that race.
Event organisers: If you have an event planned that’s not listed, please email the information to joanne@treadmtb.co.za for inclusion. There’s no charge to list your event here, but if you want to promote your event more widely and have some marketing budget, get in touch at the same email address for our reach and rates kit.
Mountain bikers: We publish the information we have been given or have access to. We are not responsible for any incorrect information. We recommend ensuring you have all the relevant information by visiting the relevant event websites or entry portal pages.
