Why ride the Berg100 (or 67)

The Berg 100 is KZN’s premier long-distance mountain biking challenge, set in the heart of the spectacular Drakensberg Midlands. Established in 2013, the event has grown into the largest one-day MTB race in the province, attracting riders from across South Africa who come for the beauty, the challenge, and the unforgettable atmosphere.

What makes the Berg 100 special is the combination of authentic mountain biking, world-class organisation and the warm hospitality of the Midlands. Riders experience a carefully crafted route that blends district gravel and farm roads, signature climbs, fast-flowing sections and sweeping valley views.

Every year, newcomers line up alongside elite athletes, weekend warriors and adventure-seekers, all sharing the same goal — to conquer 100 km or 67km of iconic Berg country.

The Berg 100 is proudly organised by Ride & Trail (Pty) Ltd and supported by partners who believe in the power of sport, community and the Midlands region.

A race defined by spirit, scenery and pure MTB magic.
