Race Routes

MTB route

50km route, ascent 600m – 06:30

20km route, ascent 250m – 07:00

The start is unseeded, so make sure you have sufficient time to get to the start area before the race briefing. Cycle Lab and their team of technical assistants will be at the start/finish area. They will also have two roaming mechanics on the 25km and 50km route to lube chains and provide any technical support. A team of cyclists from Cycle Lab will be riding the route to provide any technical (and motivational) assistance on the route. They will be identifiable by their “Cycle Lab Rider Assist” boards on their bikes

Trail runs

20km Trail Run, ascent 253m – 07:30

7km Trail Run, ascent 139m – 07:45

The first event is the Xtreme Trail Run. The trail run races will start in the same direction as the mountain bikers and it will be an uphill start. While the trail run route is picturesque, it is rocky and has a varied amount of climbing. The distance is significant, and you will need to be running-fit as well as be used to trail running. Runners’ numbers are electronically chipped and must be attached to your chest area on your running top with the safety pins provided. Please note that you will not be able to participate without a number. The 7km RUN also forms part of the Duathlon which can be entered as an individual or in a family team where any combination goes. Mom or dad could participate with their kids, or mom and dad team up to race against their kids. At the end of the day it’s all about getting active out there together as a family.

5km MTB BIKE route, ascent 56m – 08:00

The 5km MTB route is a good mix of the concrete pedestrian paths around the lagoon area, some of the road network as well as a little taste of the fun flowline offroad trail. It’s a fast route and you’ll be back at the lagoon before you know it.

7km Family Fun Walk/Run – 07:55

The 5km run consists of two laps of 2.6km each. Spectators will be able to see and cheer on their family as they come past the start area before heading out for their 2nd lap. The route is fast and exciting, taking you past the helistop and the old farmhouse and is a good mix of concrete and offroad sections.
