We offer 5 races.

Our Marathon Course is 70km and qualifies for Provincial Colours. It has something for everyone. From single tracking to steep up & downhills. From good roads to bad roads to no roads. From swamps to river crossings to speed sections to long grass and rocks. The new route now visits the mountians in a serious way.

The 46km Half Marathon  has a suprise in stall. Also qualifies for provincial colours. Both the above races are for Licenced riders only. Temporary day licences will be available at R35-00.

The 25km Fun Ride  is an enjoyable ride for anyone who does not want to tackle the  marathon courses and contains some easy technical sections.This route now covers some new ground.

The 10.5km Fun Ride  is aimed at the young but also for the novice or the "not-so-fit".

In the Kiddies Chocolate Race. Kids may enter riding anything with wheels. 

 

Your entry entitles you to a mid day feast of game and mutton "a la Thomas River" with our famous "Bum-in-a-Drum"

 The first 200 Pre entrants (in the two marathons & 25km races only), will qualify for a free T-Shirt and all finishers, except Kiddies Fun Ride, get a medal.

 Fantastic prizes and lucky draws!!

Affordable accommodation is available for over 300 people, ranging from camping, hikers cottage,  self catering, home-hosted and nearby B&B options.

Should you touch ground you will be well looked after. Not only by our medical team of a Doctor on call, two nurses and physiotherapist. But Netcare 911 will be in attendance.

We are really making the race family friendly with "Sticky Fingers" play school looking after your kids while you ride. For only R35 Cheryl will look after them and it includes a "horrog & joose"!

NB  as the race will be computer timed, all late entries on the day of the race will not be officially timed.
