Baakens Bash 2022

Race through the Baakens Valley! The annual FatTracks Baakens Bash will kick off on Sunday, 31 July! Entries for this family-friendly Mountain Biking Event are NOW OPEN.  

Brought to you by FatTracks Mountain Bike Club in collaboration with our main sponsor,
Continental Tyre South Africa

FatTracks Mountain Bike Club has been hard at work building, maintaining, and restoring the tracks in Gqeberha’s Baakens Valley. Now it’s time to put them to the test.

Bring the kids, and enjoy one of the most accessible, fun, and family-friendly MTB events in the country.

There are three race distances, catering for complete newbies to the seasoned pros. PLUS, the event is held in support of our Baakens Valley neighbour, the Aurora Special Care Centre.

There will be stalls for eats and treats afterwards. We look forward to seeing you there.
