In March we host the 12th annual Songo.info Champions Race in Kayamandi, a vibrant township on the outskirts of Stellenbosch. The short-track cross-country course races through the streets of Kayamandi, barreling onto the Songo.info BMX track and past the heart of our education and sports program, the Songo.info clubhouse.

The Songo.info Champions Race is a unique cultural event and an opportunity to experience life in a South African township in a safe and fun way. Local and international riders and fans share in the thrill of short, high-octane racing while giving back to the Kayamandi community. Past podium placers include Matt Beers, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, Luke Moir, Annika Langvad, Alan Hatherly, Kate Courtney, Tom Pidcock, Flora Duffy, Nino Schurter and Anna van der Breggen!

This unique short-track mountain bike race allows both amateur and the world’s top professional riders a chance to stretch their legs (and measure the competition!) before the Absa Cape Epic Prologue start on Sunday, 15 March in Meerendal.

Riders showcase their speed and skill with some fun friendly racing, while raising awareness around the important work Songo.info does in education and cycling development in the heartland of the Absa Cape Epic.
