Vodacom Tour de Soweto

 

Experience Soweto on a Bicycle: This is a unique cycle event that encourages both local residents and tourists to participate and experience the vibe of this Johannesburg township.

This event starts and ends at Mofolo Park in Soweto. Entries will be taken at Primi Bazala in Maponya Mall from 6am on the day. Once entered, participants can take a 2km warm-up ride to the starting line at Mofolo Park in Mcube Dr (Dube) at the corner of Mzilakazi Drive, opposite the community centre.

The 40km fun ride costs R50 per person and 19km Dikwiel race only R10 and those who enter the Dikwiel race can decorate their bikes and enter the competition. Both races commence at 08h00.

The Vodacom Tour de Soweto brings an exciting European style race through the streets of Soweto. The twisting and turning route through the suburbs will pass various historical land marks in Soweto like the Orlando Stadium, Nancefield and Meadowlands Migrant Worker Hostels, and Orlando West – recent home of Winnie Mandela, Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. There'll also be the unique vibe of hawkers, street side churches, car washes, garages and the occasional shebeen.

Another unique factor about this event is the live entertainment on route such as Gumboot, Pantsula and Zulu dancing. This, together with the excitement of local residents cheering cyclists on as they ride through the township gives the race its own unique vibe and provides participants with an entertaining and unforgettable cultural experience.
