It's the 12th edition of one of the best family fun and team building mountain bike events in South-Africa!

 Participants camp at Van Gaalen Cheese Farm and for 24 hours ride either as individuals or in teams of 2, 4 or 6 - 8 riders. The individual or team that completes the greatest number of laps in their category will be the winner.

Those who are more into running than cycling can again enter the 12 Hour Trail RUN – walkers are also welcome!

Riders compete around the clock to ride as many laps as possible within 24 hours (or alternatively within 12 hours). Whether you are an experienced rider or a novice, this event is designed to accommodate all with its social, flowing route!
