The Munga, a 1000km, single-stage mountain bike race, has been given confirmation from Cycling South Africa that it has sanctioned the period of 2 – 7 December, over the next 5 years, specifically for this mountain bike (MTB) race.

This race period will not change and will continue through the Karoo semi-desert in the South African summer time. “This race time is not only suitable to local riders but to those in the northern hemisphere and we are pleased that Cycling South Africa has confirmed the dates,” says Alex Harris, founder of Xplore Authentic Experiences and Race Director of The Munga.

“Even with the postponement of the race in 2014, we continue to undertake the necessary plans and arrangements for 2015,” adds Harris.

Being tough is not a right or a privilege.

Its a choice.
