South Africa’s toughest extreme one-day mountain bike race. An adventure through the desert and mountains of the Klein Karoo with a finish at the Garden Route Coast

For the very brave we have the Momentum Medical Scheme Attakwas Extreme MTB Challenge presented by Biogen, 121km with a 2900m vertical ascent and for the not-so-faint hearted we have the Attakwas Half, 47km with a 1100m vertical ascent.

South Africa’s premier one-day mountain bike race will stage its 18th edition in 2024 – seventeen years since that inaugural event in 2007, with a start list then, shorter than the current crew list. Dryland took this task to hand with no idea where this would take them. South Africans and their appetite for tough endurance events projected the Attakwas into legendary and cult-like status over the next couple of years.

This is the race to do if you want to test mind, body and machine!
