All goody bags can be collected at the start pick up point before the race. This will include your pass,  custom Sox Footwear, USN nutrition and other goodies to enjoy during the race. 

Is Strava Premium required?

No, it’s not, you can join our Strava group and the results will be taken from there. If you don’t have Strava, you can manually submit your results to us.

How does the timing work?

Join our Strava group @PursuitChallengeMTB. If your result does not appear after 24hours of completing the race, just pop us a mail at info@pursuitchallenge.co.za.

Submit your activity within 12 hours of finishing. If your time is not submitted within the timeframe, you will receive a DQ. The reason behind this is to keep the race alive and the results current and competitive.

Some of the events will be timed by our crew. Check the event pages for more details. All results are submitted to SAS afterwards.

How long is an event?

The duration of the race can be anything from 2 – 10 days with one – two days as a pro race. We like to switch up the conditions and make it interesting for all participants. 

You can pick any day during the 2 -10 days to complete your race. The pro challengers will have a set date to attend. 

How do I submit my time and GPS file?
