This is one of very few races in the world where competitors get to literally race amongst herds of zebra, eland, bushbuck, springbok and giraffe, to name just a few. Ride the climbs hard with majestic eagles soaring overhead urging you on with their calls, and descend beautiful trails worn smooth by the hooves of countless herds galloping across the plains.
