The trail day with mountain biking and trail running will be at the SA Sugar Association, Cornubia on April 26. Three mountain biking events over 40km, 20km and 10km. Three trail runs including a long (about 20km), medium (about 10km) and a short race (about 5km).

For 2025, the organising team aims to ensure that all riders experience a top-quality aQuellé Tour Durban, but equally important is the focus on making the weekend a genuine value-for-money cycling event. With that in mind, entry fees for 2025 will remain the same as 2024 – with a limited number of discounts for early entrants – and entry fees are “all inclusive” with no hidden extra charges for timing chips or admin fees when entering. All cycling entrants will also be getting a discount voucher from Cycle Lab and the first 2 000 cycling entrants will receive the official race shirt at no additional charge. Entries for the 2025 event are now open on the MyActive platform. A 68km race has been added to Sunday’s menu but Saturday’s gravel race that was trialled in 2024 has been removed. The start / finish venue for all trail events has been moved slightly to improve access and solve some of the infrastructure issues from last year. All events will be timed in 2025 and the Domino Foundation will once again be the designated beneficiary.
