Midlands MTB Stage race
Race Information
This page will be continually updated as the routes are confirmed and cleared. Now in its second year The Midlands MTB Stage Race 2019 will be a mix of existing trails and trails created for this event ONLY! The routes will be through Sappi commercial plantations, Ezemvelo land, Howick, Dargle and Karkloof Trails, jeep track, single track and along public gravel. Iconic points of interest have been purposefully included to expose you to the beauty and history of the Midlands area.
The routes have been created to make this event fast for those aiming for a podium finish but also easily manageable for the rider who is entering to experience their first stage race event. The emphasis is on fun for all.
In accordance with Cycling South Africa (CSA) rules we have made provision for junior age category riders to partake (Two Day Explorer Half). These distances are shorter yet just as much fun. By doing this we are giving the younger riders the opportunity to experience stage racing, gain experience and mature to the full distance event. Parents doing the Explorer Half is encouraged – you won’t get better quality time with your son or daughter than riding with them for two days!
All days of the event start and finish at Howick High School situated in Howick, KZN. This ensures easy access for all participants as well and avoiding the hassle of traveling to different venues each day.
Participants have the option of entering the full 3 day event or, if time is limited, the 2 day event.
