Explore shongweni trails
The Shongweni chapter of the Ethekwini Mountain Bike Association is all about big views, natural terrain and safe, well‑managed trails. Our route network offers something for everyone—from relaxed gravel spins to technical singletrack that winds through valleys, grasslands and indigenous bush.
We focus on responsible trail building, landowner partnerships and a friendly riding culture, so you can enjoy Shongweni’s outdoor playground with confidence. Whether you’re training, racing, or just escaping the city for a few hours, Shongweni delivers an authentic mountain‑biking experience on Durban’s doorstep.
Explore North coast trails
The North Coast chapter of the Ethekwini Mountain Bike Association celebrates coastal riding at its best: rolling sugarcane, ocean views and flowing, rideable trails all year round. Our routes cater for all levels, from family‑friendly loops to challenging climbs and fast singletrack for more experienced riders.
We’re committed to sustainable trail development, rider safety and building a welcoming community of mountain bikers across the North Coast. Join us to explore new routes, take part in social rides and events, and help grow and protect this unique riding destination.
