The story

Kgatleng Mountain Bike Challenge in Rasesa

Kgatleng Mountain Bike Challenge is an off-road cycling race held around Rasesa in the Kgatleng District, using the area's dry hardveld terrain for a chip-timed single-day event. Confirmed through both a Protime timing-platform listing and Ticketlinc, it reads as a genuine organized MTB race rather than a casual community ride.

Kgatleng Mountain Bike Challenge takes riders onto the dirt roads, cattle tracks and hardveld scrub around Rasesa, a small settlement in the Kgatleng District roughly midway between Gaborone and Mochudi.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Kgatleng hardveld is the real feature here - open sandy tracks, scattered acacia scrub and long sightlines across cattle country give the race a rawer, more rural character than a groomed singletrack trail, and the confirmed chip-timing through Protime suggests organizers treat results seriously even though the event remains a modest regional fixture rather than a national headline race
