Mountain bike race becomes economic driver in eastern Cameroon

Long confined to the realm of sports, the International Mountain Bike (VTT) Race Chantal Biya (named after the wife of President Paul Biya) is now taking a strategic turn. For its third edition, the event aims to establish itself as a tool for territorial economic attractiveness. On 29 June 2026, in Bertoua, the regional capital of eastern Cameroon, the race will showcase more than athletic prowess.
