Where can I find cycling calendars for 2026?
Not quite the answers we were looking for. Let’s start off by saying that the results below from google is certainly a mixed bag. So much so that we started creating and curating our very own local cycling calendars. So that you can see what is going on, on 2 wheels in South Africa and beyond. But for the sake of completeness, see where it all started with the initial results below. and then move on to what we did for you in our very own cycling calendars right here.
TLDR: save some time and skip to our calendars directly.
UCI
Wines2whales. Pioneer. Road champs. XCO champs. Around the POT. XCO cup and juniors. Sani2x. Cross country XCM marathon champs. Continental series MTB. CTCT. Epic. National champs. Road champs. Tankwa. The Ceder. And Attakwas. There are all your UCI listed events for SA for 2026 in reverse chronoloigical order. More on uci.org/calendar/
Cyclingnews
Too many ads for my liking and slow to open up pages compared to other probably because of this. so you can have a look at the country flags next to each event listed on cyclingnews.com/races/calendar/ but I will save my click for some of the other options listed on this page. Also no search function. Moving on.
Bikehub
Local is lekker. About 40 listings for Upcoming Cycling Events in South Africa. And are you an Event organiser? Then Get your event in front of thousands of passionate cyclists. List it for free today. Bikehub ius massive. And we love the platform. And it is quick and easy to navigate. And fast, which is probably most important. So get cracking with more cycle races listed on bikehub.co.za/events
Cycloworld
Over 4000 events. But many of them still to be confirmed dates. And yes you can filter by SA and then see almost 60 results for us. Good going. And I even spotted the Tourdeboland on there. Now that is a great start for us. Have a look at the great interface on cycloworld.cc/en/calendar
Myactive
At least 30 events listed on here. Including the MUNGA series. So not too many. But with larger entry fees it could be worthwhile as an entry portal, from their point of view. Have a look at all the events on here. And we filtered them by showing only road cycling and triathlon and MTB and gravel events. But you cannot save that as an URL from events.myactive.co.za/
Battistrada
Almost 4k intl events listed here. And you can embed the calendar. Filtering for all local events takes long for results but shows 100 cycling events in South Africa. And I appreciate that. So despite the interface and the slow response you can still get a good overview on battistrada.com/en/cycling-calendar/south-africa/
Racepass
260+ events listed. I remember speaking to them before. Racepass wants to be your trusted booking partner. And list the following benefits of booking with Racepass. Best price guarantee • Secure payments • Trusted booking partner • Group bookings. Whether you are looking for a cycling event for you and your friends, a real challenge or a beginner event, you can find it here on Racepass. At racepass.com/za/cycling-events
Bicycling magazine
Disappointing result with almost no events, legacy indexing? Lets hope they add some in future because you can see that the events are certainly out there. as listed on this very #bicyclecouriers. But just not on Bicycling magazine’s site. And that very familiar by now WordPress events calendar plugin. Nothing to see here for now at the time of writing on bicycling.co.za/events/
Entryninja
Manual entry. With 75+ cycling events found. Some have multiple listings for the same event but different categories. We also use this for the AUDAX event entries. But found no marketing benefit from listing the Tourdeboland on here. Maybe it is too expensive for a large part of the local market. Anyway, have a look at all on entryninja.com/events?activities=cycling
Archived
Pedalpower and Ractec also had results anf found themselves onto the list. But with only 7 events listed for Pedapower on here at the time of writing. See pedalpower.org.za/event/. And just 2 events for Racetec listed at the time of writing. File 13. From racetec.co.za/calendar/. Shows that good meta descriptions still help, even though there is little content. Or is that still to come?
