ABOUT TRAP DE VAL:
Embark on the Trap de Val 100-miler ride, where you'll not only conquer the 162 km green route, predominantly on gravel roads with an elevation of 1282m, but also make a significant impact by supporting the Teddy Bear Foundation.
This annual event, born out of a passion for cycling and a desire to help those in need, has grown from three friends riding in 2020 to 118 riders in 2024.
Our Cause
Funds raised will directly benefit the Teddy Bear Foundation for Abused Children, a renowned NGO in South Africa. The foundation has been providing comprehensive support to abused children and their families since 1986, evolving from medical examinations to a holistic approach addressing various needs.
To add to the excitement, after the post-ride recovery lunch, indulge in an auction featuring unique items, including art from local artists specially commissioned for Trap de Val.
