Get involved and celebrate the Zambezi!

This will be the first-ever epic ride held in Livingstone. This is truly going to be EPIC. The ride will be hosted by Thorn Tree House starting at Falls Park Mall towards Batoka Gorge and finishing at Thorn Tree House. All the routes have been mapped out to give you and your bike a good test. We expect you to see a lot of what Livingstone is known for along the way. You are expected to see lots of villages and their good people, experience tremendous gorge passes, dense forest filled with indigenous tree, steep hills for a bit of a challenge, some harmless herbivores (don’t worry, we have it covered) and much more. The ride will be a mountain bike style race with 75km, 25km and 10km distances. We highly recommend the 10km for a fun ride with family!

Livingstone Mountain Bike Challenge

Zambia and Zimbabwe will play an unofficial invitational match at the Acacia International School. The teams will be composed of current A team players and rising stars. Before the main game, there will be a series of tag rugby, touch rugby and 7s played by students from the local schools around Livingstone and Victoria Falls.

History: In 1949, a team composed of players from both sides of the Zambezi, beat the New Zealand All Blacks in a series. The Rhodesian team won the first match 10-8, and drew the second game 3-3, hence winning the series 1-0. On a historical basis therefore, a joint side of present-day Zambia and Zimbabwe remains the only non-test side in the world to win a game and a series against the All Blacks.

Run or walk while you enjoy the natural beauty of Livingstone! The run is suitable for the whole family where you can accomplish your personal goals; whether you are running for a cause or simply keeping active. This isn’t about Olympic level athletes charging about in record times, it’s about mums with prams, dads with toddlers, groups running together, tourist groups, fancy dress and a fantastic fun mix. Are you getting a picture of something a little bit different? There really is something for everyone at The Livingstone Sports Festival Trail run!

There are awesome prizes to be won!
