Courses and Distances / Times
After the success of last years race, we decided to keep the course the same. It’s an exciting course through the Banhoek Conservancy. Following our usual format, there are 2 distances. A shorter 2.5km and a longer 3.4km which is somewhat technical in places.
Short Course:
This course will be used for the Sub Nipper and Nipper age categories.
Long Course:
This course will be used for the Sprog category and older.

The following entry fees will apply:
| Categories | Cost |
|---|---|
| Short Course – Nippers and Sub-Nippers* | R160 |
| Long Course* | R200 |
| Replacement bike board * | R50 |
Online entry is the only mechanism to enter the races. No “on the day” entries will be accepted.
Registration
There will be a registration point at the venue where Team Managers must collect their school’s number boards at least one hour prior to the start of racing. The number boards contain a timing chip with a rider’s details and cyclists may therefore not swop number boards! Should there be any children not represented by a Team Manager, they are to go to registration with a responsible adult. Registration opens at 7:30
Timing
An electronic timing system will be in use. Each number board has an embedded chip which the timing system will pick up. Participants are required to have their number boards attached to the front handlebars before the start of an event. No board, no time!
Please do not swap your timing board with another participant. Your personal information is stored on the timing system linked to the board you are issued with. The bike boards are to be kept for the entire series. If you lose your board between races, a new one can be purchased at registration at a cost of R50.
Online Registration
