In addition to welcoming a fantastic new venue at Root44 (Stellenbosch) on Saturday, 09 and Sunday 10 September 2023, the 8th annual Fedhealth MTB Challenge will also boast a R36 000.00 Prize Purse for riders that have entered the iconic Marathon (+- 60km).
“We are thrilled to present a prize pool of R36,000.00 for the 2023 Fedhealth MTB Challenge Marathon,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the event. “Taking place on the Sunday, the leading male and female participants will each be rewarded with R7000.00. A prize of R5000.00 awaits the runners-up, while third-place finishers will collect R3000.00 each. Prize money has also been allocated to the top three performers across the following Age Categories: Sub Vet Men and Women, Vet Men and Women, and Master Men and Women.”
“While the Fedhealth MTB Challenge provides a fantastic opportunity for active families to bond, it also presents a
formidable test for competitive mountain bikers,” adds Meyer. “We look forward to witnessing competitive racing at the front of the field, but our greatest excitement lies in the prospect of hosting two days filled with exciting mountain biking as we cater for enthusiasts from all age groups. Don’t miss your chance to be part of the experience – secure your place on the starting line by registering today.”
