New additions to Amashova

IT'S another exciting year for the Tsogo Sun Amashova Durban Classic as Coo-ee Softdrinks comes on board as the official beverage partner for this year’s event.

Now in its 29th year, The Tsogo Sun Amashova, South Africa’s oldest classic cycle race, is set to take place on Sunday 18 October. The 106km main race, which is always the highlight of the day, will have cyclists setting off at 7am at the Pietermaritzburg City Hall, with the 65km half challenge beginning at 5.30am at Drew Lane in Cato Ridge and the 35km fun ride beginning at 5.30am at Old Main Road, Lillies Quarter in Hillcrest, supported by full road closures.

Adding to the new additions to this year race, all events will have a new finish line and will see cyclists ending their ride in Masabalala Yengwa Avenue (NMR Avenue) underneath the bridge which links Mustering Fields and People's Park in Durban. The cyclists will then proceed to the Suncoast property where there will also be a screening of two world cup rugby games in the Suncoast Bok Town.

Online entries close on Friday 18 September. Once you have booked your ticket, go to the SunZone at Suncoast where the event registration will take place on Thursday 15 October from 1pm to 6pm, Friday 16 October from 9am to 6pm and Saturday 17 October from 9am to 4pm, to collect race numbers and enjoy the expo on show.
