Mountain Biking: 12th edition of the largest stage race in the world!

ABSA CAPE EPIC 2015

March 15th to 22nd 2015, South Africa


The mountain bike paradise of South Africa is ready for the 12th edition of the world’s largest stage race! Cape Epic 2015 will lead the riders along the famous beauties of South Africa’s Western Cape. From March 15 to 22, 2015, they’ll compete on wide-open African plains, majestic mountains, deep ravines, indigenous forests and flourishing vineyards, conquering demanding climbs, furious downhills and technical trails.


During their adventurous eight-day journey, the 1,200 participants will have to ride 739 gruelling kilometres and climb 16,000 vertical metres. On their way to the finish line at Lourensford Wine Estate, the competitors will have a good chance to catch a glimpse of the African wildlife with elephants, giraffe, gemsbok, or springbok. Much of the marathon route is on private land and is only opened to mountain bikers once a year for the Cape Epic. The scenario is changing daily, and with each ridden kilometre, new and magic perspectives on South Africa’s untamed and varied landscape open.
