THE COUNTDOWN HAS STARTED

Organising such an event has many challenges and can’t be left to the last minute. The refund policy schedule is based on certain suppliers that have been paid leading up to the preparation of the event.

Every aspect of the event is meticulously planned and synchronised with suppliers, partners, medical staff , entertainers, photographers, catering staff and assistants who need time to adapt to date not even taking in account the financial aspect, whereas most of these parties have been paid in advance to ensure their services. Without these key people and planning we cannot host a safe and enjoyable event.

• All substitutions made are charged at R50 per rider.
• Refunds up to 90 days prior to the event will be refunded at 75% of entry fee.
• Refunds up to 60 days prior to the event will be refunded at 50% of entry fee.

• Entries are transferable until 14 days prior to the event. (If you do a substitution your substituted participant will receive the merchandise size that was selected on your original entry)

Substitutions can be done at an admin fee of R50 per substitution.
Either team member can enter the substitution application details.
Please do not assume the substitution is complete until payment has been made and the Substitution Confirmation email has been received. All team participants including the race organiser will be notified of substitutions.

Substitutions will receive shirts as ordered by original entry.

Mountain bikes, gravel bikes and e-bikes are welcome.

The day before the race (Friday) registration takes place, live entertainment and tented accommodation is included at the venue so that you can just wakeup, have breakfast and head to the start line. On Saturday the race will start at 06:30 and we expect 100 miler riders to finish from 14:00-18:00 thus offering another night’s accommodation along with dinner and prize giving.

Nope, both the 160km & 80km start and finish at the race village.

Yes!!! Cheers to that! You’ll get to enjoy a complimentary ice cold craft beer upon finishing your race!

Yes, the 50 miler (80km) ride is ideal for family members wanting to do shorter distances each day and to be part of a Karoo mountain biking experience. Non riders are welcome to book a meal ticket and extra accommodation for the weekend.

Please email your new team name to info@urbangoat.co.za
