2024 will see a repeat of the popular circular route from 2023 which traverses Timbavati, Kapama and Thornybush.

100 km (60 miles) 

There are strict rules on how and where entrants ride and we group riders into pelotons each escorted by armed rangers and a back-up vehicle.  All participants wear K2C branded cycling apparel so that they are easily identified by the support staff.

A doctor and paramedics will be in attendance.

All participants will be required to attend a pre-race compulsory briefing.

E-bikes are permitted in accordance with event rules.
