'Cycle 4 Cansa' event takes off at Sun City

The 'Cycle 4 Cansa' weekend, taking place from 15-16 August, is expected to attract a strong field featuring top-class athletes who will focus their energies on two cycle events hosted at the resort. On 15 August, the cyclists will compete in a road race, while on the second day, 16 August, an exciting new route will see them test their skills on mountain bikes over a different terrain.

An important facet of this promotion is that the 'Cycle 4 Cansa' weekend will help spread a vital message among cyclists, that Cancer can be beaten.

The Powerade Lost City Cycle event has been running successfully at Sun City for 17 years. Over the past four years the Bestmed Lost City mountain bike event was added to the activities. Sun City, as the flagship property of Sun International, has played host to the event since its inception and is once again giving its support and commitment by providing the facilities needed to execute a successful and exciting cycle challenge.
