Ride Joburg 2026 - Free Ride Application

Description

. Ride Joburg is proud to launch the Free Ride initiative – a chance for those who dream of riding, but face financial barriers, to be part of this year’s iconic Ride Joburg road race. We believe in the power of cycling; not just as a sport, but as a lifeline. It’s how many get around, connect, build community, stay healthy, and live longer, fuller lives. At Ride Joburg, we’re committed to improving the demographic representation of our field and enabling broader access to the sport we love. Through the Free Ride initiative, we aim to support riders who may not otherwise be able to afford an entry - particularly those from underrepresented groups - to help grow a more inclusive cycling culture in South Africa. If you genuinely cannot afford to enter this year’s Ride Joburg 97km road race, and meet the application criteria (see Ts & Cs below), we welcome your application. Please note Free Ride applications close on the 21st of September 2026 Join us on the 22nd of November to Ride Joburg at its Best.
