Suncoast – Oldest road classic cycle race in South Africa

Amashova National Classic

Amashova National Classic, the oldest road classic cycle race in South Africa returns to Suncoast– the home of the Amashova events!

The Amashova Durban Classic began in 1986 and has been a successful annual event – making it SA’s oldest ‘classic’ cycling race.

The idea of having a bicycle race on the route of the world famous Comrades Marathon was the dream of veteran Springbok Cyclist, Dave Wiseman and Tony McMillian.

Over the years the improvements on the route and road closures, accompanied by a steady increase of entries year after year and the involvement of the country’s top sponsors has helped make the ‘Shova’ one of the most loved and KZN’s biggest cycling race.

On 20 July, cyclists and enthusiasts will make their journey from the luscious Howick hills down through the upper highway and reach their destination at the heart of Durban.
