Feedback from our valued 2023 Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg participants suggested that we could do better with our seeding, so we are making seeding one of our key improvement areas in 2024.  We have taken significant steps to ensure a more accurate seeding for participants in 2024, such as an increased weighting of your 2022 and 2023 Virgin Active 947 Ride Joburg results in seeding calculations, sourcing of more road cycling results to count towards seeding, and batch communication through the Ride Joburg Portal will be earlier and more comprehensive.  We're committed to ensuring a fair and seamless seeding process, along with bigger batches and earlier start times - we hope you’ll be joining us in 2024!

You spoke, and we listened! We're thrilled to announce exciting updates for cycling clubs and groups this year. Clubs and teams will now have exclusive access to book demarcated gazebo spots, offering prime views overlooking the finish line, accompanied by a variety of delicious food and refreshing drinks available for purchase. Additionally, we invite you to join our Cycling Club Captain's initiative launching in April, fostering camaraderie and support within the cycling community. Furthermore, we are elevating our Train Joburg initiative in collaboration with Virgin Active to provide safe training in their gyms, and outride options for all participants. We look forward to working more closely with cycling clubs and teams in 2024, to enhance the experience for all!
