The success and pace of research have added pressure to our cause as we need to ensure that imminent treatments are accessible to all eligible South Africans. Over the past 35 years, the event has raised over R10 Million to Retina SA’s research and empowerment projects The event is uniquely organised by a volunteer steering committee, all specialists in their fields of communications, disaster management, event management, and road cycling.

  6. Event Name: Great Zuurberg Trek E-edition 2022When: 03/06/2022 - 05/06/2022Where: , Kromriver, Eastern CapeCategory: Mountain BikeSince 2014, pushing boundaries and moving mountains have been synonymous with the Great Zuurberg Trek brand and the new E-edition will follow in the same gravel tracks. It has been a story of testing physical limits and organisers leaving no rock unturned in their mission to capture the imagination of a discerning audience. The next chapter – which embraces advances in technology – aims to make the original GZT relevant to a broader audience and a pacesetter in the ever-changing landscape of boutique mountain biking. With its birth in 2022, the Great Zuurberg Trek E-edition is a leap into the future as it embraces one of the fastest growing sectors of the sport. The collective mindset of events has always been to “accommodate” rather than “welcome” e-bikers, but the organisers of the GZT E-edition aim to turn chance into opportunity. With e-bikers seeking a thrill-a-minute experience rather than spending long hours under the African sun, organisers can hand-pick the very best trails from the traditional GZT route for the E-edition. The GZT-E stage race will be presented over three days, from June 3 to 5, 2022. Teams of two will line up for consecutive stages of approximately 63km, 55km and 50km respectively. In order to allow riders of varying skill- and fitness levels to ride together, organisers have agreed to accommodate traditional mountain bikes, either as teams or paired with the e-bikes. Stage 1 - 63km Stage 2 - 55km Stage 3 - 50km Go to Event Page.
