Event Name: Spur Schools MTB League: MPU Highveld #3
When: 17 September 2016
Where: TBC, Mpumulanga
Category: MTB

8 years into the Spur High School Mountain Bike League and we are seeing over 10 000 scholars from more than 480 schools participating in Leagues around South Africa. This cross-country race format increases in popularity annually as riders rack up points across four races in order for their school to qualify for the National Final which is held in Magaliesburg in October each year. Teams such as Namibia, Zimbabwe and Zambia join at the High School Final’s starting line where age-group champions are determined among boys and girls from 14 – 18 years old. Although primarily a High School League, primary schools have been included in the regional League events in order to form a healthy feeder system for the growing sport. Now known as the biggest high school cycling program in world Spur Steak Ranches proudly and continually support this truly impressive cycling initiative.
