The Gateway Gauntlet is the next best thing since GU and remote lock outs were invented. This amazing event will become the signature sporting event for Gateway Theater of Shopping as well as being the only MTB event in AFRICA that rides through and finishing inside a shopping centre.
The are 3 main events, the first and biggest race will be a 2 lap (15km) course, consisting of an exciting and unique 7.5km route per lap. The route will consist of flat out tar sprints, coupled with grinding and sharp dirt track turns, sprinkled every now and again with some short technical sections. Natural obstacles will be used or concept ones built to give the riders an intense adventure with a technical accomplishment. However don’t despair, chicken runs will always be available for the faint hearted. Another unique aspect of the race will be the riding terrain, where competitors will be exposed to Tar, Cobbles, Dirt and Obstacles along the whole route.
The 2nd event will be a short 1 lap, 7.5km race, where riders will compete over the same routes, however only completing 1 lap. The Confidential Route will be another awesome element to the race. What this means is that no-one will know the route (barring us and the route designers) The Race route and profile will only be added to the event website 24hrs prior to the race and no-one will be allowed to ride it prior to the start.
The 3rd and most exciting race to take place will be the limited entry race of only 30 riders. These riders will race over a 1.5km course inside Gateway Shopping centre. The route will include, escalators, stairs, slippery floors and sharp 180 deg turns.
