The 2021 Mabaruli Solitaire MTB Challenge

Mabaruli Cycling Events with Mabaruli Safaris are proud to be hosting the second Mabaruli Solitaire MTB Challenge on 25 and 26 September 2021.

The Mabaruli Solitaire MTB Challenge is a 1-Day Mountain Bike Gravel Road Challenge of about 241 km recognised by the Namibian Cycle Federation and sponsored by Pupkewitz Megatech and Santam Namibia.
The Mabaruli Solitaire MTB Challenge ride is where the journey is as important as the destination. It is about the variation and beauty of this incredible country.
The journey will start on 25 September at2 am (yes, it’s early, but you can thank the organisers later) at Arebbusch Lodge via the well-known Kupferberg Pass to the “Borde” on the C26, turning left towards the Remhoogte Pass and finishing on 26 September 2021at the famous southern little town Solitaire, renowned for its apple pie, red dunes and hot air ballooning.

Riders will have the privilege of traversing two passes then drop from the Khomas Hochland into the legendary Namib Desert and finally enjoy the last flat 14 km to cold beer, “potjiekos” and spit braai.
Make no mistake the Mabaruli Solitaire MTB Challenge is a tough, but extremely rewarding ride, if you have prepared your backside.
The Mabaruli Solitaire MTB Challenge is open for Solo, 2 man or women and mix teams.
Entries will close on 10 September 2021.
