Set to take place at Coetzenburg Field<\/strong> in Stellenbosch<\/strong> on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 November 2024<\/strong>, the Savanna Origin of Trails MTB Experience, fueled by Coca-Cola Peninsula<\/strong> Beverages<\/strong>, is back with South Africa\u2019s ultimate MTB party of the year! Organisers are once again on the lookout for the \u201cbest dressed\u201d rider of 2024 in both male and female categories. The stakes are high, with R20,000 up for grabs (R10,000 per rider) and 10 cases of Savanna each, making it a competition that you won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe Dress-Up Competition is a highlight each year at the Savanna Origin of Trails,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports and Event Founder<\/em><\/strong>. \u201cRiders surprise us annually with their creativity and unique interpretations of the Dress-Up theme. It makes judging incredibly tough, which is why we keep things fair by letting the riders make the final call.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSavanna was named the No. 1 cider in the world in 2024, so we felt it only fitting to incorporate this achievement into the 2024 Dress-Up Theme,\u201d continues Meyer. \u201cWe\u2019re challenging riders to wear their best proudly South African outfit and celebrate with Savanna. There\u2019s just one twist: yellow must be the dominant color. Just a reminder that the Dress-Up Competition will be held on Sunday, 17 November, and to be eligible, riders need to complete the stage in the same outfit they start in. We encourage all riders to take up the challenge, as it adds a fun and vibrant element to South Africa\u2019s MTB Party of the Year!\u201d<\/p>\n
