Joburg’s biggest road race to take place

Covid-19 might have disrupted the world, but it will not stop Joburg’s biggest road race from happening this year.

On November 15, Smile Foundation, in collaboration with 947 Ride Joburg and Imperial Wanderers Stadium, will host a Smile Foundation 947 Ride Joburg Cyclethon.

You can choose to take part in an exciting large-scale class at Imperial Wanderers Stadium (limited to 500 participants) or from the comfort of your own home (unlimited), while watching a world-class stream.

A cycling instructor will lead and motivate the riders for four hours throughout their virtual race.

All riders will be linked virtually to the same race and will complete their 94km in their own time.

Every rider will need to use the official app, Motosumo, to track and measure their 94 km ride to receive an official 2020 finish and medal.

Participants who choose to attend Smile Foundation 947 Ride Joburg Cyclethon at Imperial Wanderers will also receive their medal and goody bag.

Refreshment stations will be available to the 500 participants who attend at the Imperial Wanderers Stadium. This is to simulate water points during the not-so-virtual race.

On top of it, this exciting event will be aired live via the 947 Ride.

Entry fee is R400 per person and is open to 500 riders (300 gym stationery bikes available/200 spots for home trainers).
