The town will also host a golf challenge and marathon running event during the festival, giving all sports enthusiasts even more reason to visit lovely Ficksburg for a unique experience.

A note from the organisers:

Ficksburg Cycling Club strives to provide a highly organised top quality mountain bike event.

The Cherry Race was established in 1998 by Boet du Toit and has been a successful community event ever since, drawing enthusiastic participation from scores of MTB athletes. The riders and their families come to Ficksburg and enjoy the sport in its totality. This race not only promotes the sport of mountain biking, but also contributes to a healthy lifestyle and supports our town economy. Two years ago the race was moved from Meulspruit dam right into the centre of town.

See you there!
