Welcome to the untamed terrain of South Africa. Join us for Gravduro, where the thrill of Gravel Racing meets the relaxed atmosphere of Enduro Riding. Hammer it along some of the most iconic sections in the Western Cape. Venture into Oak Valley, Paul Cluver and up the infamous Hans se Kop Climb. The whole event isn’t a race. Organizers will time you for 6 or 4 stages, which count toward your overall time. Enjoy a relaxed start and social liaison sections before tackling the 4 or 6 stages of the route. Choose your strategy wisely.
Setting off from Elgin Grabouw Country Club on 31 May 2026, this event will be run and led by the team from Red Cherry Events.
The Route
The route will use a combination of some of the most iconic farms and climbs in the Western Cape. Using Elgin Grabouw Country Club as a starting point, GravDuro heads into Oak Valley, Paul Cluver, and the Hans se Kop Climb. Don’t have the energy to tackle all stages? Organizers award prizes to riders who complete 6 or 4 stages. You can bail out if the going gets too tough.
The route covers a total distance of 83 km, with 6 timed stages making up 45 km of the total. The 4-stage route will be 58kms long, with 35 km of timed stages.
The organizers will mark the route with Day Glow orange stickers and arrows on main roads to prevent missed markers. They will also send GPS routes to all riders so you have everything needed to complete this epic one-day event.
The event is most suited to Gravel Bikes, and the organizers designed the terrain and segments specifically with this in mind. No problem! You can still take the event on, a Traditional MTB or E-Bike and there will be prizes for all the categories we have listed.
