Calling all cyclists, mountain bike enthusiasts and trail runners
The event raises funds for charity.
Germiston Rotary Club and Germiston Wheelers Cycle Club invite you to join them at Carnival City for the Carnival City Macsteel National Classic annual cycle, mountain bike and trail run events taking place on October 26 and 27.
There is an event and distance to cater for your needs, ranging from a 60km and 34km MTB race, as well as a 6km to 12km MTB event for the children.
The children’s event takes place on the Saturday from 7am (start time).
The road cycle race takes place on the Sunday from 6am, and is perfectly placed on the calendar as a warm-up ride for the Discovery 947 Ride Joburg event three weeks later.
Distances of 110km and 58km on a relatively flat course means it is possible to ride the full distance without walking.
