The three-day stage race is an exhilarating experience, drawing participants into the stunning landscapes that unfold with each passing kilometre. Throughout the event, participants tackle diverse terrains, from rocky hills to vast open plains, all while pushing their conquering the Karoo. Each stage brings a new adventure, fostering connections among competitors who share difficulties and triumphs. As the final day dawns, there’s a palpable sense of achievement, camaraderie, and a lasting appreciation for the beauty of the journey they’ve experienced together.
FEELING THE KAROOS' HEARTBEAT
Ride The Karoo stage race takes place in the depths of the Karoo at Dwarsvlei farm. Each stage passes by historical 100-year-old stables and 200-year-old stone walls leading onto double lane “sheep tracks” while riding past familiar windpump scenes. Experience authentic Karoo hospitality with braais, fresh farm bread, condensed milk coffee, koeksisters & craft beer amidst picturesque sunsets. Ride the Karoo is not about crossing the finish line as quickly as possible but rather about a riding experience like no other.
