The Tshwane Diamond Classic was presented by Hectic Promotions (a non-profit organisation) for the first time last year and attracted a participant base of 1600 cyclists.

Hectic Promotions annually also present the Bestmed Cycle4CANSA, the Joburg Classic and the Tshwane Classic, in association with Jacaranda FM.

Since its incorporation into the Tshwane Metro, Cullinan represents the perfect location for a mass participation road cycling event with delightfully quiet roads with good road surfaces, and it’s situated only 30km from the centre of Pretoria.

Our big Cycle Classic for Cullinan has been in the making for a while now and by utilising the organising infrastructure of our company and our current good standing and relationships with the Tshwane Metro we create a safe cycling environment.

The event starts and finishes at the impressive Baviaanspoort Correctional Facility (after taking the Zambezi Drive off-ramp off the N1, turn right – Zambezi Drive (R513) runs past the facility), which presents ample parking, lots of shade, neat ablutions and impressive catering facilities to accommodate a mass participation cycling event.

We are hosting the event on 24 May 2020. The date falls within a wonderful climate time on the Highveld when Fall temperatures are mild and the chances of rain slim, ensuring that the race optimises the potential participant base.

The road race presents a feature 110km distance while a 50km fun ride distance also forms part of the weekend to make the event as inclusive as possible.

We also have a kids’ event and a fun walk inside the correctional facility terrain to complete the picture.

The traction of the Tshwane Diamond Classic is locked into the delightful and quiet Sunday morning road conditions around Cullinan as well as the Tshwane Metro’s support and the town’s vicinity to the major cycling catchment area represented by Johannesburg and Pretoria.Baviaanspoort Correctional Facility
