Results for the 2009 race here
Be part of an experience of a life time!!
Building on the success of last year where we had the entire facility at Ithala booked out for the race we have once again managed to come to this arrangement. Between having the facilities at Ithala fine-tuned from last year and the grass at the Bivane Dam looking really nice2009 promises to be an event to remember!
For those new to the race - in 2002 ,2004 and 2005 the Ithala challenge was voted by the KNCU as the best one day event race in KwaZulu - Natal. It was also adjudged the runner-up in the Tourism KZN Emerging Tourism Event of the Year Competition in 2002. They were impressed - we will do the same for you.
