So… you want an official finish, and you wish to ride the full distance of 94km in 2020? No problem! On 15 November 2020, The Smile Foundation in collaboration with 947 Ride Joburg and Imperial Wanderers Stadium, will host a 947 Ride Joburg Smile Foundation Cyclethon, which you can do in an exciting mass class at Imperial Wanderers stadium (limited to 500) or selected Planet Fitness gyms (limited to 15 per location) or from the comfort of your own home (unlimited), while watching a world class stream. A cycling instructor will lead and motivate Cyclethon riders for 4 hours throughout their virtual 94 km 947 Ride Joburg race. All riders will be linked virtually to the same race and will complete their 94km in their own time. Every rider will need to use the official App, Motosumo, to track and measure their 94 km ride to receive and official 2020 finish. Participants who choose to attend the Smile Foundation 947 Ride Joburg Cyclethon at Imperial Wanderers will also their medal and receive a goody bag. Well-stocked and festive refreshment stations will be available to the 500 participants who will take part at Imperial Wanderers Stadium. This is to simulate water points during the not-so-virtual race. On top of all that, this exciting event will be aired live via the 947 Ride Joburg Facebook page. Enjoy a fantastic vibe with like-minded cycling enthusiasts all cycling together to buy more smiles for the Smile Foundation.
