PPA 12 Hours of Killarney is back again! Not only will we have the 12-hour challenge, but we have also added a 6-hour challenge for the less daring. Join us on Sunday, 20 October 2024, at the prestigious Killarney Motor Racing Track in Milnerton. This is your chance to test your endurance legs and showcase your biking prowess. You can participate as a solo rider, team up with a partner for a dynamic duo, or assemble a formidable team of four riders. Come and experience the thrill of PPA 12 Hours of Killarney!
Get ready for an exhilarating challenge, the track is a 3.276 km loop that is fairly flat with long straights that will push your endurance to the limit. How many laps can you conquer in a mere 12 hours? Will you surpass the incredible 2018 record of 140 laps (men solo) or 112 laps (ladies solo)? If you do set a new record, you’ll win R 5 000 cash.
For pairs and teams, get ready for thrilling relay action, with one rider on the track at a time. The best part? You have the freedom to decide when to switch riders or take a well-deserved rest. While a minimum number of laps guarantees a bronze medal, the choice is yours regarding lap distribution among team members. As a solo rider, you have the flexibility to decide when to ride and how many laps to conquer before taking a break.
The event officially kicks off at 07h00, but if you’re not aiming for the lap record challenge, feel free to start your cycling adventure anytime between 07h00 and 09h00. Just remember, for your final lap to count towards medals and prizes, it must commence before 19h00 and be completed by 19h10.
Coffee will be on sale from 06h00 and the restaurant will open at 09h00.
