Now in its eighth year, the BIG5 Challenge remains one of the highlights of the annual Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival. The multi-sport event offers a group of athletes the opportunity to compete in five different events over the course of 10 days.
The Maserati BIG5 Challenge has three competition tiers and includes entries to the Momentum Knysna Cycle Tour MTB Race and the Momentum Knysna Forest Half Marathon.
The BIG5 sees athletes compete in five pre-determined events and the athlete with the lowest cumulative time is named the overall winner.
Another option is the BIG5Lite, where four of the events are pre-determined, and the fifth offers a choice between three, to make up the total result. Young racers are also encouraged to participate in the BIG5Junior, a race specifically targeted for those aged between 12 and 19 years.
With the introduction of the Levante to the South African market in 2016, Maserati’s first foray into the SUV sector, the brand has stepped firmly into the cycling lifestyle arena.
