The event offers courses that range from a two-kilometre race for children, and five-kilometre, 15km, and 35km races for the serious riders.

After the race, participants will be able to set up on the lawns for a picnic and will be able to listen to some of South Africa’s live entertainment acts, including musicians Goodluck, Die Heuwels Fantasties, and Dr Victor.

Jacaranda FM’s GM, Kevin Fine, says, "Off the Beat ‘n Track has proved to be a massively successful event for both consumers and our partners', Tracker. Family, fun, music, and mountain biking in one of Gauteng’s most spectacular venues combines the full essence of what Jacaranda FM as a station is all about, and we’re anticipating another superb event in April."

"Last year’s Off the Beat ‘n Track event was an undeniable success and embodied the Tracker brand slogan of ‘To care is to protect'," says Tracker CEO, Wayne de Nobrega. "We know that families don’t always get to spend as much time together as they would like, and this event provides the perfect opportunity for families to have fun and be entertained in a safe and welcoming environment. We can’t wait for this year’s event. It’s definitely one that you don’t want to miss."
