*Exciting News for Mountain Bikers!*

Get ready for an amazing experience as we introduce changes to the Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race. The event continues under the leadership of two familiar faces from our previous team: the dynamic father-daughter duo, Riaan Strauss & Laetitia Grobbelaar, who are dedicated to elevating this race.

We’re transitioning to a 2-day stage race, offering a fresh twist on the adventure you know and love. Mark your calendars for June 14 & 15, 2025!

Stages 1 and 2 will remain the same as the race of 2023 to challenge and thrill you, though they may be tweaked for safety and the best possible race conditions.

Registration and Accommodation:

1. Pre-entry will be available soon, allowing you to pre-enter in advance with a later payment date. Remember, there will be a cut-off date for payments, so keep an eye out for updates.
2. You will be able book accommodation through our online store. Chalet availability and capacity will be clearly listed. Once booked and paid for, your chalet will appear as “sold out” on the online store.

We’re busy behind the scenes, but rest assured, we’re preparing for an unforgettable race. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. We can’t wait to welcome you back to the breathtaking trails of Augrabies National Park!

Dear Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race Participants and Supporters,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of the Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race for the year 2024. Despite our best efforts and the enthusiasm from the cycling community, we have faced the unfortunate reality of too few entries to proceed with the event.

This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment it may cause among our participants and supporters. Organizing the Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race is a labor of love, and we have explored various avenues to ensure the event’s success. Unfortunately, the lack of a sufficient number of entries has made it financially untenable to proceed.

As a privately hosted event, we must prioritize the financial viability and sustainability of the Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race. The decision to cancel is based on the need to mitigate the risks associated with insufficient participation. While we deeply regret having to make this announcement, we believe it is in the best interest of all involved.

We want to assure you that we are actively exploring alternative options and strategies to ensure the future success of the Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race. We remain committed to providing a premier mountain biking experience in the years to come, and we appreciate your understanding and continued support.

We understand the time, dedication, and excitement invested by participants in preparing for the event, and we share in your disappointment. To those who have already registered, we will be reaching out shortly to discuss refund processes and any additional details.

Thank you for being an integral part of the Trans Augrabies MTB Stage Race community. We look forward to overcoming these challenges and returning with a stronger and more vibrant event in the future.

Sincerely,
Trans Augrabies Organisers
