Fedgroup Trails

Fedgroup Trails is a growing 100km+ network of beautifully maintained private trails in the Cradle of Humankind, just 30 minutes from Johannesburg.

Your annual solo or family membership (or day pass) gives you access to a different adventure every time: family-friendly routes at Syringa Park, flowing singletrack and river scenery at Avianto, wilder and more technical riding around Farmhouse 58, purpose-built MTB trails at Cradle Moon Lakeside Game Lodge, and scenic loops and climbs at Kloofzicht Lodge & Spa.

This is the network behind the Fedgroup Cradle 100. Now it's time to experience the trails all year round. Watch the video, meet the people behind the network and start planning your next ride, run or walk.
