“By entering the Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic, mountain biking enthusiasts are guaranteed to reach their goal. It’s called #TheMonster for a reason, but with sufficient time in the saddle it can be conquered with ease. The event takes place in June, so mountain bikers have sufficient time to get fit and improve on their technical skills. Being prepared for an event adds to the experience and we’d like all entrants to have the best possible experience on event day. Enter with a group of friends and spend your weekends together in the outdoors enjoying nature and getting fit.”

The Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic caters for mountain bikers of all ages and capabilities. Entrants can choose between a marathon (+-65km), half marathon (+-33km), fun ride (16km) and a kids event (2.5km) that showcases the Magaliesberg’s most spectacular routes. Irrespective of the distance entered, mountain bikers can expect a fantastic day out on the trails with exciting challenges and awesome rewards.

“The Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic has earned its stripes as one of the North-West Province’s most revered one day MTB races,” continued Meyer.

“The marathon is renowned for its ‘Monster Climb’ up Breedts Nek. If you #ConquerTheMonster you’ll have bragging rights for a year. Each event, however, incorporates the best trails on offer in the Magliesberg and mountain bikers can expect an exciting on-route challenge. Trail runners are also invited to join in on the fun with the Fedhealth Platinum Trail Run taking place at the same venue on Sunday, June 4. Adventure seekers of all ages are invited to enjoy an active weekend away with family and friends.”
