Joining Adventurer Mark Beaumont on the Inaugural Orbis Cycling Challenge

The Purpose

We aim to raise £10,000 to support the Cycling Federation of Malawi (CFM) in launching a new BMX cycle scheme, backed by the Malawi Olympic Committee and the National Council of Sports. The aim is to raise sufficient funds to build the country's first BMX track in Blantyre, Southern Malawi. This will be used for events, races and in the overall promotion of cycling a sport in Malawi, as well as to encourage, support and collaborate with local schools through a bursary education scheme.
The Orbis Cycle Challenge 2020 will aim to support this scheme and the development of youth cycling in Malawi with the goal to have a Malawian entry in the cycling or BMX events in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
