Om Die Berg Mountain Bike Challenge
On the 3rd of September, the town will be hosting its not-to-be-missed Om Die Berg mountain bike challenge. The event offers an exciting nine-stage, 55km mountain bike race – with a route traversing the base of the mountain; a less grueling 20km route; and a leisurely 10km cycle route. There is also a 21km trail run taking place, as well as a 10km walking route for a more sedate pace.
The Om Die Berg event promises to be a favourite amongst mountain bike and outdoor enthusiasts, with the routes navigating beautiful farmlands, veld, and mountainside scenery. The event is being organised by the NG Kerk in Aurora, with all funds raised going towards the restoration of the beautiful historic church building in the town, which was built 114 years ago.
Also taking place in Aurora on the 3rd and 4th of September – and the starting point for the Om Die Berg cycle routes – is the annual Aurora Sandveld Skou – a festival of everything that is agricultural, coupled with live entertainment, music, dancing, food of many varieties, stalls selling an abundance of items, kids entertainment, farm animals, country hospitality and so much more.
