carefully curated 500km and 200 miler bicycle races

A collection of non-stop, single-stage, self-supported bike packing races through some of South Africa's most iconic places. Ranging from 200 miles to 500km.

The Sedgefield500, Burra500, and Rhodes 200 Miler were born out of a passion for sharing adventure, and for inspiring you to ride a little further than you might be comfortable with. 

The goal of racing self-supported is to show you don't need an aid station every 30km to have a good ride. It is a throwback to the days of old when riders rode across continents with nothing but what they could carry in their pockets and on their bike. Resupplying at shops and guesthouses along the way.

Adventure, true adventure, is best discovered under your own steam, no support, no fancy race villages, no pomp, and ceremony. Just you, your bicycle, some mates, and the most insane mountains views you can imagine.
