Southern Suburbs School Mountain Bike League - Event 4 of 2026 hosted by WBHS

On November 15, 2026, the Wynberg Boys High School fields will come alive with the energy of young cyclists as they take part in the fourth Junior School Southern Suburbs School Mountain Bike League race. This exciting event welcomes boys and girls from grades one to seven, offering a variety of age-appropriate races designed for budding mountain bikers.
The day kicks off at 8am with a fun-filled pre-prep ride for under-sixes, allowing kids on balance bikes or assisted wheels to enjoy a short loop around the field. This no-charge event is perfect for families who want to experience the joy of cycling together without any formal registration required.
For those ready to compete in timed races, there are six categories ranging from u7 to u12/u13 riders, each with its own unique course distance and challenge level. The younger racers will tackle two laps on a short 1.9km circuit, while older participants take on longer routes like the medium course's 2.4km loop for twice around.
Competitors are encouraged to dress in their school colors as they pedal through scenic trails surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills of Wynberg Boys High School’s expansive fields. The event promises not only thrilling races but also a skills area hosted by Coach Eugene Elliott, where young cyclists can hone their techniques before or after competing.
Parents and spectators are invited to join the WhatsApp group linked in the source for updates on race day happenings, including results and future events. Remember that helmets are mandatory for all participants; safety is paramount as riders navigate through varied terrain at different speeds across several age categories.
With its mix of friendly competition and skill-building opportunities, this event offers an engaging experience for young cyclists eager to improve their mountain biking abilities in a supportive community setting.
