Cycling South Africa Membership and Licence Requirements:   To register and race (and to qualify for regional or provincial colours), South African riders must hold a valid Cycling South Africa Membership or Cycling South Africa Full Racing Licence at the time of entry.

Juniors and Elites need to have Cycling South Africa Full Racing Licences and  all other categories may have Cycling South Africa Memberships.   For more information about Cycling South Africa, Click here

Please ensure that you have paid your Cycling South Africa fee.  Kindly bring your printed Membership/Licence Card to registration.

Foreign nationals and others with valid reasons for not having Cycling South Africa Membership/ Licences may purchase a day licence at registration or via the entry process in order to race.

Compulsory Practice:      It is compulsory for Nippers and Sprogs to practice the course on the day before the race (Friday) and checking will be done.  This is for their safety – to give parents and riders the opportunity to identify which obstacles riders are not competent to ride and to ensure that they do not get lost on route !

Race categories are based on your 2023 Birthday Age and not on your current age.  For example, if you are now 10, but turning 11 on 20 December 2023, you are a Sprog Girl for all 2023 races.

To qualify for WC Colours Awards, you need to enter your Region correctly during the race entry process.  And, the Region that you select during the entry process, must be the same as the Region that you have on your Cycling SA profile.    Please check and correct you CyclingSA profile if necessary.
