Route Info
This route is a once-off opportunity:
Over 50% of the singletrack is normally closed to the public.
No maps will be released beforehand, and no access to the route is permitted prior to the event.
Trust us: this is one you’ll never forget.
Built with love (and decades of experience) by Meurant Botha, this event is about more than just fitness — it's a celebration of land, wine, and the trails community.
