THE annual Gooderson Leisure MTB and Trail Running Challenge takes place at Gooderson Drakensberg Gardens Golf and Spa Resort in June.
The weekend starts on Saturday, 30 June with the 7.5km, 15km and the new 20km trail run on the single tracks of Drakensberg Gardens, with breathtaking views from the top of the Drakensberg Gardens Plateau. All races will start from 9am with delayed intervals between races. Registration for both races starts at 7.30am.
Sunday, 1 July starts at 7.30am with registration and the 40km MTB event starts at 9am. This will be followed by the 20km at 9.10am. Due to the success of the 20km event in 2017 the route will remain largely unchanged with maybe a few tweeks here and there.

The 40km will see riders enjoy the single track of Drakensberg Gardens and Lake Naverone and the challenging section of Castleburn. The route will also go through Eland Valley for the first time.
There will be goodie bags and race shirts provided to the first 200 pre-entries participants who compete in any of the four races over the weekend. Late entries will be accommodated at the hotel on both days (Saturday and Sunday) from 7.30am.
As this event forms part of the prestigious ROAG Series there will be cash prizes available for both male and female entrants competing in the 20km and 40km MTB as well as the 7.5km, 15km and 15km trail running events.
