Apart from riding for a good cause, to break the cycle of poverty and inequality in South Africa, cyclists will have the opportunity to engage with South African Rugby Legends, CEO’s, business people, professional athletes, as well as youngsters all hoping to achieve the event’s target.
This year will see a one hundred-strong peloton, the biggest to date, aiming to raise much-needed funds for the non-profit organisation. The 2018 edition achieved its R2 million target with a peloton of just 70 riders.
Interested cyclists and teams are advised to enter immediately before the limited quota of 100 entries is reached. For more visit www.mrpfoundation.org/events.aspx.
