Imagine morning light spilling over open fields as your tyres bite into fresh gravel, a ribbon of country road unfurling toward the town of Edenville. Our inaugural provincial cross‑country marathon sets off from the farmhouse on the ridge, rolls through farm lanes and the heart of Edenville, then follows a network of gravel tracks that show off the region’s wide skies, hidden koppies and sweeping views.
Expect long, flowing sections to settle into a rhythm, short, technical turns that demand focus, and friendly marshals at every farm gate. Whether you ride for the podium or for the day’s stories, you’ll finish with dust on your legs, a bigger grin, and a pint (or hot drink) waiting in town. Come be part of something new - a race built by riders, for riders, where every finish line is a small celebration of community.
