Pedal with Purpose at the Easter Bunny @ Rooiwal 2026
Get your gear ready for one of Pretoria’s most beloved cycling traditions. The Easter Bunny @ Rooiwal Challenge returns this March, offering more than just a race—it’s an opportunity to give back to the community while clocking important seeding miles. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or looking for a festive family outing, this event perfectly blends competitive road cycling with the spirit of Easter.

More Than a Race: Cycling for Charity
In 2026, the organisers at Lenick Promotions are doing things differently. Cyclists are encouraged to bring Easter eggs to the event, which will be distributed to the underprivileged, the elderly, and children within the local community, as well as the marshals who ensure rider safety. It’s a chance to “do some good” while enjoying the open roads of the North.

Competitive Edge: Ride Joburg 947 Seeding
For those with their sights set on the major end-of-year races, the Easter Bunny @ Rooiwal is a critical fixture. It serves as an official seeding event for the Ride Joburg 947 and forms part of the Gauteng Road Championships for 2026. With well-trained stationary and motorbike marshals, full medical support, and catered water points, you can focus entirely on your performance.
