Sedgefield500

500km. Self-supported.

This means no aid stations and no route markings. You get a route GPX file and you ride it your way. The route file will be emailed to you once you complete your entry.

Do it over the full 60-hour cut-off and stop where you like, or test your mettle and ride it non-stop.

There is no prize money. You get a high five if you finish.

After the race had to start in Groot Brak in January because of the flood damage to the Seven Passes road, we are returning to a start/finish in Sedgefield in October 2022.

The route takes you through some of the best gravel roads in the infamous Garden Route area as well as through the Klein-Karoo towns of Uniondale, Oudsthoorn, and Calitzdorp.

Entries are limited to keep the event as ‘uncommercial’ as possible, we will only be taking 35 entries this year, so first come first served.
