With no other road cycling event held since 2019, the Amashova event will finally resume – albeit in a different format and is set to ‘shake things up’ for cyclists. Amashova Durban Classic race team made a welcome announcement that the popular event will take place again on October 24.

With support from the city of Durban, RTI, SAPS and Metro Police, the new ‘Shova Shake-up’ will offer cyclists the option to ride a 38km or an 80km route with full road-closure on the M13, instead of the usual R103 route.

This out and back ride, starting from outside Moses Mabhida Stadium to Shongweni and back again, will make for easier planning and logistics for cyclists wishing to participate in the longer distance.
