The Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race – 2022

Not all who wander are lost.

It’s not often that one has the opportunity to experience something unique, for the first time.

We’ve totally reimagined a bicycle race and built it from the ground up. This race is hand built.

Forget everything you’ve been accustomed to in bicycle races. The Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race is one of a kind – deep in the heart of the Tankwa Karoo.

It’s unforgettable.

The Tanqua Kuru Bicycle Race is a two-day gravel race.

The race has been specifically designed to test a modern gravel bicycle, however, our aim is to bring all people who love bicycles together. We want to be as inclusionary as possible, so we welcome any type of bicycle to take part.

THE FORMAT.

Day 1 (Long) – 110km – 450m ascent (more gravel)

or

Day 1 (Short) – 55km – 150m ascent (more chill)
