This month for MARATHONS & SPORTING EVENTS, we decided to keep on the trail side of things, but by bike, and this first event is even more exiting than the others we've blogged.
Meet the....

This is a first for Jozi, the Hollard Jozi Urban MTB Adventure (JUMA), comprizing of a 52km & 22km through the heart of the biggest urban forest in the world....JOZI, our city!
Partnering with City Parks & Johannesburg Zoo, JUMA has created a route that will take you on an adventure, starting at Marks Park Emmarentia and taking you over 2 floating bridge dam crossings, and green belts that you've only seen in pictures, through storm water drains & tunnels, one so long you'll this its an abyss, nightmare stuff that will leave you mesmerised once JUMA is done with them.
They'll even throw in a few rapids, one that's on steps, it's guaranteed to bring out the kid in you. This marvellous adventure continues through one of Jo'burgs most beautiful golf courses, under highway bridges and over main roads on scaffolding bridges.
Safety and Security is their concern, but please note that every jungle comes with some danger, but JUMA has spared no expense to keep you safe. There are rescue divers in the 120m long deep-water crossing, 112 security guards en route and there are 3 air-quality control Marshall's, 20 ventilation fans, mine tunnel lighting systems and 6 generators...lord this sounds like its potentially nasty & exciting beyond expectations, WHAHOO!!!!! BRING IT!
Their words, ahem, "Most sports require one ball, but if you have 2, then this is for you..." Oi
the Course build cost nearly R1.5m, and there is something for everyone. So if ramping into vast expanses you never knew existed, that make you feel like a combination of Erik Kleinhans & Bear Grylls, and you are not a sissie, then this is for you. (All levels of riders are accepted.)
Look at this course video...
