THE ULTIMATE TEAM CYCLING EVENT FOR ALL RIDERS—ROADIES, MTBERS, GRAVEL CYCLISTS, AND E-BIKERS! RACE ON SAFE GRAVEL AND FARM ROADS IN TEAMS OF FIVE, WITH AT LEAST FOUR FINISHING TO QUALIFY. NON-TECHNICAL TERRAIN, OPEN ROADS, AND PURE RIDING ENJOYMENT—TEAMWORK AND STRATEGY TAKE THE LEAD. GATHER YOUR SQUAD AND PUSH THE PACE!

Some things are better with your people. 

The Munga Squad Series is a team relay race, five riders, one route, one shared mission. Each rider takes on a leg of the course on open gravel roads before tagging in the next, sharing the load and the glory in equal measure. No solo suffering here. Just five people digging deep together.

It's the Munga format distilled into something you can do with your crew — accessible, exciting, and every bit as rewarding. Full medical support is provided on route, with a start/finish transition area to keep the energy high between legs.

Teams of 5. Mixed teams welcome. One finisher's medal per rider. All of it earned together.
