Event Name: Mad Mountain Marathon
When: 25 April 2014 - 27 April 2014
Where: Laingsburg to Sedgefield, Western Cape
Category: MTB

The Mad Mountain Marathon (MMM) is a 3 day MTB stage race from Laingsburg to Sedgefield which will be held from the 25th to the 27st April 2014. The race has specifically been designed to accommodate a fit rider who loves to ride in remote places but is not set on riding technical routes. The route therefore involves back country roads and trails but not technical single track (the few technical sections can be portaged). The countryside through which the rider passes is spectacular and the overnight stops will be a welcome oasis. This ride is not for the novice rider and experience in multi day riding will be useful as the distances may prove too challenging for the novice.

 

Laingsburg is just 2hrs drive from Cape Town which makes it the ideal starting point for a sublime 3 day MTB adventure from the Karoo to the inland lakes and coast of the Wilderness / Sedgefield area. The finish is in Sedgefield which will ensure that a well-deserved rest can be enjoyed by all finishers and family in this coastal town. On the way the overnight stops and race village will be at Prins Albert and Oudtshoorn. These smaller town are famous for their hospitality which will ensure a comfortable nights rest. The focus is on staying in comfort and to this end we have teamed up with local accommodation establishments to ensure great rates for a comfortable nights rest. The option of staying in the tented village is still available and included in the entry fee. This is the inaugural event and in order to ensure we provide top class services for the competitors, the race will be limited to 100 riders.
