COVID COMPLIANCE 

The Lions of Uniondale and Knysna’s main objective is to ensure the safety of our athletes and crew, but at the same time guarantee that everyone taking part in this event – is still treated to a great experience.

We have hired a Covid Compliance officer to guide us in 2021 and he has created a plan that has kept relevant rules and regulations  and safety measures in place to comply and successfully host an event if permitted by the government.

Any changes to the current event date will be communicated timeously to all entrants with various options at your disposal!

REFUND POLICY 

A decision with regards to the event status in terms of permission will be made by the 5th August 2021. Should the event be postponed due to Covid19 regulations = riders will be offered the following options.

  1. Migrate your entry and merchandise etc to 2022 at no extra cost.
  2. Refund minus admin costs.
  3. Donate the entry to the charities who own the event.
