Welcome to the 2023 edition of the most popular and prestigious mountain bike race in Gauteng - The Cradle Mountain Trophy, and now it’s a Gravel Event for the cyclists.

Founded in 2010, this mountain biking event always promises to be an exhilarating experience, and it takes place over the weekend of 1st of April 2023.

You may have noticed that we have changed the format slightly, and now we are offering a 1-Day version.

And this year, we are changing things up a bit and all routes will now be Gravel Routes.

90km, 54km and 34km will be on offer

This is without a doubt the most popular, engaging and spectacular and fun event in and around Gauteng.

Plus we also have a stunning offering of various Trail Running/ Walking options from 5km, 10km, 15km, and for the more adventurous and fitter athletes, a 20km Trail. This will take place on Saturday the 1st of April.

We are back at our 2022 venue in the form of The Valley Lodge & Spa, situated in the heart of Magaliesburg.
