The 947 Ride Joburg (formally known as the 94.7 cycle challenge) is the world's second-largest timed cycle race, after the Cape Argus Cycle Race. It is held annually on cycle challenge Sunday, the third Sunday of November in the South African city of Johannesburg. Between 20,000 and 30,000 participants complete the challenging Шаблон:Convert course every year. The event's main sponsors are 947 (radio station) and Virgin Active (In previous years, Momentum.)

The 94.7 Mountain Bike Challenge is held the weekend before the road race. It consists of two distances; a Шаблон:Convert race and a Шаблон:Convert race. In 2012 a Шаблон:Convert fun ride was introduced and took place the day before the 94.7 Mountain Bike Challenge.
