The i-Cycle Sugar Rush Classic offers great cash podium prizes, courtesy of the main sponsors, plenty of spot prizes for competitors due to the generous support of many local Ballito businesses, water tables with various product offerings, food stalls, market stalls, entertainment for the kids, secure parking and medical support vehicles. All in all, a great family day of healthy fun!
This inaugural race also coincides with the “soft” opening of the Sugar Rush Adventure Centre, which is situated in a precinct development at Collisheen Estate just outside Ballito. This precinct, situated on a 10ha piece of land, includes a winery – an initiative of Enterprise Ilembe, a Floriculture Centre, and the Sugar Rush Adventure Centre.
At the Sugar Rush Centre, which should be completed in its entirety towards the second half of this year, there will be a Cycling Hub catering for the whole family that will incorporate an Adventure Zone For kids, a Cycling Academy as well as internal and external bike trails. Concept Cyclery Stores, well known for their specialised range of mountain bikes, has undertaken to develop the children’s internal trail area at the Sugar Rush Adventure Centre.
With the support of the owners of over 20 farms, who have willingly made their properties available for MTB Trails and this i-Cycle Sugar Rush Classic, Sugar Rush cc have adopted as their slogan “Pedalling to Protect” because they will be channeling funds into the participating farms to ensure that permanent green lungs are maintained for riding purposes and are protected for the future.
