Coming Back Bigger and Better
We are changing this a bit in 2024 – the race will now be hosted in Durban – it will be run on the M4 Freeway (fast and flat) – the event has also been cut down in distances due to popular demand. There will be the Premium 80km 8-man Team Time Trial Race over 4 laps of the 20km route. We will also host a 4 man over 40km and a 2 man over 20km. Apart from this we are also allowing individuals to take part. A better venue – a faster racing track, We are looking forward to growing this new event (formally known as the 160km Team Challenge) now known as the IQWEMBU CYCLE CHALLENGE – save the date 1st SEPTEMBER
THE ROUTE
The route will be a fast and flat 20km loop (10km out to the La Lucia Mall Area and back along the M4 towards town. The Race will start and finish next to the Moses Mabhida Stadium/Kings Park Pool Area. Starting at 7am – the cyclists will make their way onto the M4 past the Durban Country Club and Rifle Command, onto the M4 to do their loops (1 lap 2 laps 3 laps or 4 laps) to once again return along NMR Avenue to finish next to the swimming pool
