About TREAD Events
TREAD Events is South Africa's dedicated calendar for mountain bike, gravel and road cycling races. Built for riders, we aggregate every public race in one place so you can plan your season without hunting through Facebook groups and organiser websites.
Each listing includes the start date, route distances, host location with map, and a direct link to the organiser's registration page. TREAD Events doesn't take entries itself — we're the discovery layer that points you to the people running the race.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I register for a race?
- Open the event you're interested in and follow the Register link, which takes you to the organiser's official registration page. TREAD Events doesn't process entries directly.
- How are events listed?
- We add every public mountain bike, gravel and road race in South Africa that we're aware of. If you organise an event and it isn't listed, contact us and we'll add it.
- What's the difference between MTB and gravel races?
- Mountain bike races are run on singletrack and technical trails that suit a hardtail or full-suspension MTB. Gravel races are run on gravel roads and farm tracks — faster, less technical, and ridden on a gravel bike or hardtail.
- Can I save events I want to enter?
- Yes — sign in with Google and tap the heart on any event to save it. Your saved races appear under Favourites in the menu.
- Is TREAD Events free to use?
- Yes, completely free for riders. We help race organisers reach more participants and never charge users to browse the calendar.
