2020 TROPIC AIR 10TO4<br />

MOUNTAIN BIKE CHALLENGE<br />

The 2020 Tropic Air 10to4 will take place<br />

on 14th-16th February 2020, starting at<br />

an altitude of 10,000ft on the slopes of<br />

Mount Kenya and ending on the savannahs<br />

of Borana Conservancy at 4,000ft.<br />

Having started in 2002 as a very small<br />

mountain biking event, with just a handful<br />

of riders, this event has grown to over 350<br />

competitors from across the globe, raising<br />

over US$80,000. With courses for all<br />

abilities, this annual event provides a unique<br />

opportunity for people to enjoy Mount<br />

Kenya and its beautiful surrounding wildlife<br />

conservancies, whilst raising critical funds for<br />

Mount Kenya Trust’s community projects and<br />

mountain conservation. www.10to4.org<br />
