Munga MTB TwentyTwentyTwo

[Shebeen]

Doesn't look like there is a fred for this yet, (if there is then le hub search fxn is as useful as a water bottle left in the karoo sun for a day).

kick off is 15 days time, who is lining up? with all the super hardcore internationals coming for RhinoRun with no prizemoney i wonder if there could be some bigger names in for this?

Would be nice if the organisers could publish the entry list . 
I checked the Desert Dash website today and there is a full list .

Publish like name age nr of Munga’s done 

[binxc]

There is no prize money for Munga either and also not CSA event any more, probably more of a deterrent to the big names. Usually the organisers publish the entry list closer to kickoff, from what I recall in previous years. 

Makes me sadder in retrospect that Lachlan Morton had to pull out of last year's event; I doubt they will get names on the list like that again if the situation remains as is.

I am doing my first one. Entry list was only confirmed on Friday last week. I started a separate thread a while ago in an effort to raise awareness of my fundraising effort with the SPCA.

Very expensive entry this year (nothing knew I guess) and after witness the RhinoRun media storm, their social media, I think is pretty sub standard...All that said I am still pretty bleak not to lining up this year but studies this year are taking priority...Names I am watching (from who I know is entering) Martin Freyer, Hansie Joubert, Gert Fouche...the podium from last year (as far as I know) wont be lining up this year...

Benkie and Hansie is on the start list that was sent out. Agreed the entrance fee is steep, but this has been on my list for too long so now is the time. I just closed my eyes and clicked PAY NOW. Super excited though!

I love the Munga but you are right their media coverage is really terrible. The Munga social media pages are a mess. They look like their content was created by the same people that do media for Game, Makro or the Fish and Chips co....

Rhino Run, The Ceder, The Gallows all show what is possible without huge media budgets.

Is the 'no prize money' something new? There was bitcoin prize the last few years if I am not mistaken.

It was a Bitcoin prize purse rather than cash per se - I vaguely recall when I read the T&Cs at that time, one had the option of keeping it in the wallet or cashing it out. I think the highest equivalent amount was for first place was R260k. Same 0.5 BTC would still be around R140k today.

Wow, no prizemoney at all? that was always the big thing here, even though the million dollar never happened it was a case of expensive entry but big $$$ payout. Previous champ marco martins is on the list.

I see 145x R28 900 = R4.2m entry fees revenue. Surely there is space in the budget for prizemoney? I really wonder if the demand is neverending for a sufferfest like this, although the cap is 150 they came very close to it here.

Yup, he said he ain't in.

 

I also see Guy Jennings, Jurjen Draaijer and Elodie DePrez as recent Rhino Run finishers on this list. Respect if they are on the startline!
