Irrespective of the distance entered, mountain bikers can expect a fantastic day out on the trails with exciting challenges and awesome rewards resulting in an overall memorable experience for all!

“Spanning over two decades, the Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic has earned its stripes as one of the North-West Province’s most revered one day MTB races,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. “Both the Marathon and Half Marathon boast routes that incorporate the best trails on offer in the Magliesberg. The Marathon, however, is renowned for its ‘Monster Climb’ up Breedts Nek. If you #ConquerTheMonster you’ll have bragging rights for a year. Irrespective of the distance entered, mountain bikers can expect an exciting on-route challenge. The Fun Ride is ideal for active families, while the 2.5km is the perfect way to introduce junior adventure seekers to the sport. We can’t wait to welcome mountain bikers of all ages to the start line in 2023.”

Says Jeremy Yatt, Fedhealth Principal Officer: “The Fedhealth Magalies Monster MTB Classic is returning to the sports calendar in 2023. As a medical scheme committed to health and fitness, we are once again putting our money where our mouth is by sponsoring this family friendly mountain-biking event.
