Marakele MTB is the week before - if you want to have a go at the exact opposite of Race To! Definitely not fast and definitely not flat - something of a suffer fest, but spectacular and lekker gees with the SanParks Honorary Rangers. 

Glad I don’t have to choose and can likely be last in two events on the trot 😂

I would love to do this, but I think we have a FS Gravel Champs event on 30 May

Does this race sell out or are there usually spaces available until a month or two before?

There is a cutoff date - but generally tickets are available till the last day off the cutoff.

Any idea what date the cut-off falls on for 2026?

Dankie, buying a gravel bike (hopefully) first week of January 2026 to get back in to it, so don't want to enter before the bike is in the garage..

Good luck for doing it on the gravel bike... The second half is a nightmare. IF I ever have to do it again - it will be on the mtb. I had zero fun on the gravel bike.

I did it on my MTB and im glad I did.

There are some rough sections and I cant imagine getting hammered on some of those roads without any suspension.  Although some people swear that its not bad on a gravel bike, Personally I think the dual suspension makes the ride alot more comfortable.
