When entering the event online mountain bikers can show their support by donating towards the cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are proud to continue supporting The Kindness Collaboration Project in 2022,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Founder of the event. \u201cFounded by Fedhealth and Operation Healing Hands, the project supports families that don\u2019t have access to or can\u2019t afford quality medical care. It\u2019s a wonderful initiative that raises funds to cover the cost of preventative and life-saving screenings and\/or surgeries. Fedhealth MTB Challenge entrants can show their support by donating towards the project during the 2022 online entry process. No donation is too small\u00a0and entrants that donate R400 or more will receive a rider jersey compliments of Operation Healing Hands and Fedhealth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFedhealth partnered with Operation Healing Hands (OHH) to launch The Kindness Collaboration after an extremely difficult 2020,\u201d says Jeremy Yatt, Fedhealth Principal Officer. \u201cWe are both proud and excited to continue the partnership in 2022. We cherish the opportunity to work closely with OHH, our members, partners and entrants to raise the funds needed to change the lives of South Africans who cannot otherwise afford quality medical care.<\/p>\n<p><em>The\u00a0Kindness Collaboration is a joint initiative between Fedhealth and Operation Healing Hands (OHH).\u00a0 All medical professionals associated with OHH provide their time and skills for free; the funds raised will therefore go towards expenses such as consumables and random medical expenses. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>EVENT INFORMATION<\/u><\/strong><strong>:\u00a0 <\/strong>2022 Fedhealth MTB Challenge<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Saturday, 10 September 2022<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Venue:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\">Blaauwklippen Wine Estate, Stellenbosch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Event:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><strong>15km Fedhealth MTB Challenge (Fun Ride)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><strong>Start Time:<\/strong> 08:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><strong>Entry Fee: <\/strong>R200.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Event &amp; Time:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><strong>Fedhealth Kids MTB Events:<\/strong>\u00a0 <em>not timed<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 500m \/ 1 \u2013 5 years of age \/ 10:00<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1.5km \/ 6 \u2013 9 years of age \/ 10:30<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5km \/ 10 \u2013 13 years of age \/ 11:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><strong>Start Time: <\/strong>10:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"387\"><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong> R100.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Sunday, 11 September 2022<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Venue:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\">Blaauwklippen Wine Estate, Stellenbosch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Event:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><strong>+- 60km Fedhealth MTB Challenge (Marathon)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Time:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\">08:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><strong>R450.00<\/strong> <strong>per rider (excludes CSA License)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Event:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><strong>+-30km Fedhealth MTB Challenge (Half Marathon)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Time:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\">08:30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Entry Fee:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><strong>R350.00 per rider (excludes CSA License)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>CSA Temp Licence:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\">R60.00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Entries Open:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\">Wednesday 04 May 2022<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"111\"><strong>Entries Close:<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"340\"><strong>Tuesday 06 September 2022<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><u>The entry fee includes<\/u>:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 an exclusive technical event t-shirt (Fedhealth Kids MTB Events included)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 medals will be awarded to all finishers<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>FREE ENTRY<\/u>:<\/strong> Fedhealth members can enter free of charge \u2013 simply by typing in their membership number when entering online!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>PRIZE PURSE<\/u>:<\/strong> The 2022 Fedhealth MTB Challenge Marathon (+- 60km) will boast a R30\u00a0000 Prize Purse.
