Madison Bateson
I began my cycling ambitions at the age of 6, following in my older sisters footsteps. I started cycling at Holla trails, this was the start in setting goals for my aspirations in cycling. I Joined Drivetrain Academy at the start of 2022 which added focused training to my daily routine. I have achieved six National Titles since. Being a British passport holder, I have participated in the Youth European Championships in 2024 and 2025. Having Holla trails right on my

I’ve just completed my postgraduate degree in Management through Varsity College and am turning 23 this year. I coach hockey and mountain biking at Ashton International College Ballito, a role I’ve enjoyed for the past four years while studying. I love staying active whether it’s riding, surfing, running, walking, going to the gym, playing golf, hockey, or padel. I’m out doing something at least six times a week. Holla Trails is one of my favorite places to explore, combining adventure,

To me, running & cycling isn't a hobby, but a lifestyle! 8 x Comrades Finisher (2 x Silver Medals) 5 x Two Oceans Ultra Finisher (56Km) (1 x Silver Medal) Multiple Cycle events and stage races Most Epic event = Sani2c Non-Stop 2022 (13h19mins). What I love most about Holla Trails: Endless Route Options, meeting new people, the coffee & friendly Holla Team.

I’d love to throw my helmet back into the ring to be a Holla Trails ambassador again this year 💚 I love Holla because it’s not only about watts, podiums, or racing stripes (thank goodness, because… lol). It’s about lifestyle. It’s about family adventures, dusty smiles, and that feeling when you roll into the forest and your shoulders drop because you’re home. For me, Holla is my second home, where bikes lean against trees, kids grow confidence, and friendships grow faster
Patrick Cleghorn
My name is Patrick, and I started mountain biking three years ago after discovering a real love for being on the trails. What began as a new challenge quickly turned into a passion that I work at every day. I’m proud to have earned my KZN provincial colours as well as my school colours for cycling, and I currently ride for the KZN Schools team. In 2025, I was grateful to win the KZN Schools Series, which motivated me even more
Yvette Redelinghuis
I am just a girl that likes to be outside, whether its running, doing functional fitness or riding my bike. I believe movement is an absolute blessing from God and that all forms should be embraced. I'm usually the one that rallies all my non-sporty friends to the roads, trails and comps to give anything and everything at least a go once. I full heartedly believe we can do anything, we just need one person to take the lead and

Joni Pires
I’m a passionate mountain biker and trail runner who’s all about getting outside, pushing limits, and doing the work, on and off the trails. After a major lifestyle reset and dropping over 20kg, the trails became my therapy, my training ground, and my community. I ride consistently, respect the grind, and believe trails change lives. Holla Trails isn’t just where I ride, it’s where I grow, connect, and inspire others to look after their bodies, their minds, and the spaces
Ryan Pepper
I am extremely fit and do 10km trail running almost daily. I believe in fitness outdoors with good quality oxygen and water. Why I love Holla Trails: Open air exercise arena.
Richard Bezuidenhout
At the age of 48, with fragile bones I decided to take on a my first marathon. I did it with just 9 painful weeks. Over the next 2 years I took running as a way to explore my new city of Durban and beyond. Finding small intimate trails like Burman Bush to more established scenery like Giba Gorge. I love sharing these places and experiences and started creating YouTube videos sharing “must-know” details about what you can expect. Then
