Things You Need to Know for Sunday
Hi there, Adventurers!
It’s almost time for The Magalies Adventure, happening this Sunday, November 30th, at the picturesque Galloway Gardens near Magaliesburg.
This isn’t just any ride—it’s a day of thrilling trails, festive fun, and the magic of the Black Horse Brewery Christmas Market!
Whether you’re here for the adrenaline, the vibes, or the craft beer, you’re in for a treat.
All the details you need about registration, race number pick-up, and more are on our website:www.magaliesadventure.co.za — and don’t worry, GPX files will be loaded shortly to keep you on track (literally!).
Race Number Pick-Up Times:
- Wednesday, November 26th from 12:30 to 17:00 at JoziGin (Bryanston, cnr Post House & Main).

Late Entries: Feeling spontaneous, or have a friend who missed the deadline? You can still grab a late entry at JoziGin on Wednesday, or on race day itself. But a little heads-up: spots are limited! Cash is king, so bring some along since we don’t have credit card facilities.
