About this race

Stellantis South Africa presents the 2026 Mini Kei Trek
Ready for a proper jol on two wheels? 🚴♂️
Stellantis South Africa proudly presents the 2026 Mini Kei Trek, happening on Saturday, 26 September at the legendary Morgan Bay Hotel.
With iconic brands like Jeep, Opel, Peugeot, Leapmotor, Citroën, Alfa Romeo and FIAT under the Stellantis umbrella, the Mini Kei Trek is backed by a global motoring group that shares the same spirit of adventure, exploration and good times outdoors.
Whether you’re racing for the podium, riding for the vibe, or just keen to justify a cold one afterwards, the Mini Kei Trek is the perfect excuse for a long weekend on the Wild Coast.
Choose Your Ride
The Mini Kei Trek takes you on a spectacular ride through the Wild Coast and the Old Transkei, with routes designed to suit everyone.
🚴 50km – The Big One
For the riders who like to push a little harder. This route heads deep into the Old Transkei before returning to Morgan Bay… and there’s almost R20,000 in prize money up for grabs, so expect some proper racing at the front.
🚴 40km – The Social Smasher
A great challenge with stunning scenery and the perfect balance of effort and enjoyment. Plus we have R3,000 in prize money for the junior category (U19), so bring your school mates to support you
🚴 20km – The Fun Ride
Cruise down to Kei Mouth, sneak into the Old Transkei and back. Perfect for relaxed riders, families and anyone who prefers the “ride now, braai later” approach.
No matter which distance you choose, expect incredible views, good vibes and plenty of stories afterwards.
Prize Money & Racing
If you’re feeling fast, the 50km race has R18,000 in prize money on the line.
• Prize money for Men & Ladies in the 50km (R18,000 in prize money)
• Prize money for Junior category on the 40km (R3,000 in prize money)
• 1st, 2nd and 3rd places awarded in all distances
So whether you're racing for bragging rights or a little petrol money for the drive home, the competition will be worth it.
