sani2c

Good day. We use SA Seeding to do the batching for the first day of the event. They use results from majority of the cycling events to work out the seeing so it is as accurate as we can get it. However, if you do have an issue with your batch for Day 1 we will try accommodate your request as best as we can.

Event Name: sani2c nonstop 2024When: 21/06/2024 - 23/06/2024Where: Himeville, KwaZulu-NatalCategory: Mountain BikeThe first nonstop sani2c, which was held in 2007, was possibly ahead of its time. 15 years later and in response to countless requests from those who rode back then, we re-introduced the sani2c nonstop in June 2022. A 24-hour cut-off, teamed mountain bike marathon event with a difference, the sani2c nonstop is a point-to-point ride. Starting at the base of the Sani Pass and finishing on the shores of Scottburgh beach, it covers a total distance of 250 kms, which must be completed within 24 hours. The event is designed for true adventurers who will enjoy the challenge of riding and navigating their way from the southern Drakensberg and over sections of the iconic sani2c route to the KwaZulu-Natal east coast. The route traverses varied and contrasting terrain, over hills and through valleys with spectacular scenery. Created by a family of passionate mountain bikers who actively compete in endurance events themselves, it will test and reward riders who love the challenge of adventure and competition.  One of the things that makes the sani2c nonstop extraordinary is its format. With each team comprising either two, three or four cyclists, plus a support crew and one vehicle, it will be a true test of partnerships, endurance and commitment, with the emphasis on team effort and cooperation. To compete, you will need a great team with excellent orientation skills, heaps of stamina, brilliant night lights and a vibrant spirit of adventure. Go to Event Page.

Event Name: KAP sani2cWhen: 26/04/2023 - 29/04/2023Where: Glencairn Weddings, , Mkhomazi Wilderness area, KwaZulu-NatalCategory: Mountain BikeThe KAP sani2c is a three-day, 265-kilometre mountain bike stage race, which takes place in the south-eastern province of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) in South Africa. There are two versions of the annual, three-day event, which takes place over a total of four days.  KAP sani2c Adventure : 26th - 28th April KAP sani2c Race : 27th - 29th April The event begins on a small sheep farm near the country’s mother of all mountain passes, the Sani Pass in the southern Drakensberg. Pedalling across a section of the KZN Midlands mist belt, riders traverse scenic dairy and timber farms, glide through indigenous forests and soar down a breath-taking pass into the Umkomaas Valley before criss-crossing a nature reserve and sugar cane farms that eventually deliver them onto the shores of the Indian Ocean. Not only is the event well-known for its exceptional route, hospitality and gees (that’s the South African word for great spirit, mood or vibe), but the KAP sani2c business model is also highly-regarded for its innovative community focus. Since inception, the race has involved and provided for communities, including schools, charities, rural populations and entrepreneurs along the route. Formalised as the sani2c Community Development Trust in 2017, this model underscores the KAP sani2c maxim, More Than A Ride. Go to Event Page.
