We are excited about the proceeds we have made with the 2023 MTB Festival.

R170 000 – WE DIDN'T DO BADLY AT ALL for such a "little" Festival!

The proceeds we have made with the 2023 MTB Festival has already been given to the 5 Institutions (Schools and Old Age Homes) we support.

Each of the 5 institutions received R30 000

This year the number of participants was ± 100 less than last year, as were the "spectators" on the day. We are not yet full in numbers as we want to be, but there are some new options that we want to look at and decide on for next year.

2 things that is true for 2024:

1.       Entry Fees will stay the same

2.       We are bringing back the R30 000 prize money for the track record breakers – THIS MUST BE DONE AS A TEAM!

AGAIN, thank you so much for all of your contributions and help and support. Without all our supporters, this Festival for Charity would not have been possible.

Greetings and a Fantastic Festive Season to you all.

well done julle...

amped for next year... will try and pull my crew in as well. @babse put in your calendar please

do you have a date, want to put it in my calendar now now?!

[Eselfontein]

Please help with the Event Date. Pioneer is 1 October 2024 and Wine to whales at the end of October. We are thinking 11-13 October 2024 - but would really like it not to clash again with other important races - like the Durbie dash and Weekend Warrior, but cant seem to find a date for them for 2024?

DANKIE vir jul pogings.  Ons hou styf duim vas 👍

Well done on thinking ahead and already now starting to plan for what is surely going to be another fantastic event.  I have just sent you the direct telephone number of the organizer (for Durbie Dash).

Durbie Dash dependent on school calendar (incl sports calendar) because kids & parents are involved in hosting event - no chance of flexibility on that date

Prince George also on the same weekend just to complicate things further.

If Eselfontein move to a different date I will definitely do it again

A Little more on Eselfontein MTB Festival:

 

1. We have been running this festival for 24 years.
2. This is a Festival held for charity, all working and helping is doing this giving their time, except the farm workers as marshals and the ladies cleaning the ablution and showers.
3. We cap the amount of riders on the 3-Day Stage race to 400, as the Eselfontein MTB trails is mostly single track. With this said, this is the part that keeps Eselfontein exclusive.
