Bergplaas Challenge 2026

EVENT POSTPONED TO 28 November 2026

The current Foot and Mouth pandemic has reached our Eden/Garden Route with the first confirmed case identified in Mossel Bay. The farmers and farming committees are currently busy with planning and implementing measures to limit and prevent the spread of the disease. One of the most important measures is to restrict the movement of all non-essential vehicles (which include bicycles) within farming areas. Our host (Libertas Farm) is a dairy farm, and we unfortunately will have to postpone the event till later the year (28 November). We carry all entries over to that date, but if you rather want a refund, please send your request to support@entryninja.com and they will then confirm with us to process it.

We apologize for this, but our farmers need our support during this time.
