A cycling company, Chain Reaction will host its maiden cycling race dubbed the Kgatleng Mountain Bike (MTB) challenge.

The event scheduled for April 11 in the Kgatleng District will serve as a catalyst to the local cycling scene, which had shown low activity following the COVID pandemic.

“After working closely with the cycling community through our tours and rentals, we felt a responsibility to step into the race organising space and provide a platform for riders to compete, connect and grow,” said Ofentse Gaesi of Chain Reaction.

Gaesi said the Kgatleng MTB challenge race was more than just a race, but a celebration of the rugged beauty of the Kgatleng District as well as promotion of cycling culture and healthy lifestyle across the country.

With their knowledge and expertise of local and regional race standards, Chain Reaction promises to deliver an expertly curated route starting from Rasesa, weaving through Rasesa and Pilane before crossing under the A1 to Tshele Hills and back to finish point.

The race with route distances of 60km, 40km as well as 30km is inclusive of elites, weekend warriors and beginners categories.

“Our move into event management marks a major milestone, from humble beginning as a rental company,” said Gaesi adding that the company remained open to strategic partnerships with organisations looking to support health, wellness and local sports development.

Registration for the Kgatleng MTB Challenge race is available online at www.ticketlinc.co.bw as well as at BK Cycles and D&G Cycles. 

Registration fee is P100 across all route distances. ENDS
