(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - April 2nd, 2013 - With only 500 places up for grabs at this years Imvelo MTB Classic there’s no doubt that they’ll fly off the shelf. We can officially announce that entry is now open!

The event is ideal for Mountain Biking Enthusiasts, a family day out, personal fitness and of course for helping to support the local community. There are four course in total, the classic – a 64km race through the Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary, a slightly less demanding 33km course, a ‘family friendly’ 22km route and a 12.5km trial for the littles ones!.

The annual mountain biking competition is held every June at Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary and sponsored by Nedbank Swaziland and Big Game Parks. It comprises of a series of races over different distances, the longest being 64km! Of course with any great Swaziland Event, the race is followed by a fantastic party for all cyclists.

One of the most important aims of Imvelo is to raise funds for community and conservation projects. The neighbouring Hlabazonkhe School, bordering Mlilwane North in the Siphocosini district has been a project for some years now, and in addition to general assistance since 2008 (including the painting of the school, installation of gutters to capture rain water and the donation of water tanks and office equipment), Imvelo has just completed its Water Spring project which as a result currently provides the local community with clean water.
