RACE OVERVIEW

The 1Zambia MTB race has become the highlight of the MTB calendar in Zambia, and the 5th edition will maintain all the features that make this race unique. Participants should look forward to the warm and friendly hospitality of the Zambian people as they take on the challenge of navigating over 250km of wild and remote trails via GPS; twisting through remote valleys; enjoying panoramic views; and finally finishing on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River for an unforgettable prize giving on a picturesque island. The 1Zambia MTB race sure is a unique experience in the African mountain bike scene. We haven’t found a race to compare it to yet…



FORMAT - Stage 2

Teams of 2-4 take on mountain bike race following hilly village footpaths and remote escarpment jeep tracks via GPS through rural tribal bushland for a truly African finish on the banks of the Zambezi River. We are targeting all mountain bike enthusiasts with a taste for fresh adventure and the unknown!
