This is the 28th time this race is being held and it remains a seeding event for the Cape Town Cycle Tour.
As in previous years, Dis-Chem Pharmacies is the naming sponsor with Ekurhuleni Metro, Springs Wheelers, Hamnet Emergency Communications and Benoni Red Cross partnering with Retina.
Cash prizes valued at R82 000 will be awarded in the CSA cycling categories.
Lucky draw and donation prizes worth over R200 000 will also be up for grabs.
The Dis-Chem Foundation will once again match all of these lucky draw donations over and above event entry fees.
All proceeds from the event go directly to finding cures for retinal blindness. Over the last 27 years this event has already raised more than R5-million for research into these blinding conditions.
Online entries close on Monday, February 1. To enter visit www.cycleevents.co.za
