Pursuit Challenge is a series of timed challenges throughout the world, we set a date for each course that challengers can take part in. Each challenger decides their own starting time, pace and strategy. A leaderboard is hosted on our website with prize money and prizes up for grabs in each winner’s nominated category.
The timing works like all the other Pursuit Challenge races:

We have a few basic rules all participants need to adhere to, read more here: https://pursuitchallenge.co.za/rules/
More detail about the route:
These trails are well known amongst locals, but Pursuit Challenge is adding some extra flavour to the race, with two stages and two unique routes. Short punchy climbs followed by flowing singletracks down and “bush tunnels” as you’ve never seen before! This is the new “mecca of mountain biking” and better to come prepared.
GPS files are available for download to all participants the week of the event.
