The Bergplaas Challenge 2026 will not go ahead on Saturday 28 November 2026. Bike Hub’s event page lists the Western Cape mountain-bike event at Libertas Farm in Hoekwil, near Wilderness, but marks it as cancelled.

What the listing confirms

The same listing says entries and full details were through CyclingSA, with the venue given as Libertas Guest Farm - The Farmhouse, Wilderness, Western Cape, South Africa. It is listed as a one-day mountain-bike event.

Why it matters for riders

A forum update shown on the event page says the event will not take place this year because of Foot & Mouth restrictions in the area. For riders planning a late-November Garden Route dirt day, that is the useful bit: scratch this one from the calendar before you start organising travel, leave and weekend logistics.
