Entries open for Race with Soul

KNYSNA NEWS - Bookings have opened for participation in the Momentum Medical Scheme Cape Pioneer - dubbed the "Race with Soul" - which has a reputation for taking mountain bikers through beautiful and diverse landscapes, crossing spectacular mountain ranges and traversing broad planes.

This year, from 30 September to 4 October, the 5-day UCI S1 grade stage race (a Class 1 stage race as classified by the Union Cycliste Internationale - UCI - the governing body for professional cycling) will do just that once more.

Hospitality

The race also wows participants with hearty Klein Karoo hospitality, ample accommodation options, from budget-friendly camping to luxurious hotel stays, and support services from sports massages to transfers and bike maintenance packages.

On the bike, the second edition of the rejuvenated and shortened event will feature two brand new stages and a new start venue.
