“Mountain bikers taking part in the 2019 Fedhealth MTB Challenge will stand a chance to win their share in R13 000,” says Michael Meyer, Managing Director Stillwater Sports.  “The first male and female rider home in the Marathon will take home R3000, while second and third place will be rewarded with R1000 and R500 respectively.  In the Half Marathon the first male and female rider will earn R1000, with the second and third place rider taking home R600 and R400 respectively.  We trust that the added motivation will encourage some exciting racing on event day.”
