Pretoria Boys High School 6 & 24 Hour MTB RACE 2026

Pretoria Boys High School proudly hosts an iconic 24 Hour & 6 Hour Mountain Bike Race.

Set on the sprawling 35 hectare estate in the Old East of Pretoria, the school offers a unique mountain bike route that's filled with something for every type of rider. The stunning campus offers gravel, technical climbs, thrilling single track and free flowing track, all without even leaving the property and promises to boost your fitness with some punchy hill-rep training! The route suits the novice and the racing snake alike, with the level of difficulty being regulated by the speed at which you approach them.

The race is open to recreational riders and licensed athletes and can be completed solo or as a member of a team. (Only one rider per team will be allowed on the track at a time).

Riders will navigate the 5km+ lap which is completely set within the Boys High estate ensuring safety throughout the race.

Riders will aim to complete as many loops of the circuit within  the allotted 6 or 24 hours. All cyclists must ensure they have the required bike lights and headlamps, including those who ride in the 6 Hour, as it includes a portion of time after sunset.

The 24 Hour event starts (5th September) Saturday at 10h00 through to Sunday (6th September) at 10h00 (entry includes a breakfast bun, camping facility (own tent), shower, access to the race village). Own lighting & helmets are compulsory. The event will include food and beverages for sale, but entrants are welcome to also provide their own food as well. There will be coffee for sale for the entire duration of the event.

The 6 Hour event starts on (5th September) Saturday at 14h00 and ends later that evening at 20h00 allowing riders to experience the thrill of night riding. Own lighting & helmets are compulsory.

The Race Village will overflow with enthusiastic bikers and will double up as a gathering spot with food & beverages available!
