Race the Absa Cape Epic in South Africa March 2027
The Absa Cape Epic is the most televised mountain bike race in the world and the only eight-day mountain bike stage race classed as hors catégorie by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI); this official UCI status makes it a highlight on the professional racer's calendar. The Absa Cape Epic also attracts aspiring amateur riders wanting to test themselves against the best.
The race must be completed by both members of a two-person team with only 680 teams allowed to ride the race each year. Every edition follows a different route, leading aspiring amateur and professional mountain bikers from around the world through roughly 700 untamed kilometers of unspoiled scenery and up 16000m of climbing.
The Absa Cape Epic is the largest full-service mountain bike stage race in the world. From the day the race starts, riders need only look after their bodies and continue racing.
An early buffet breakfast is served each morning. Race nutrition, water and isotonic carbohydrate drinks are freely available at water points throughout the route. Trained medical staff are on course and a fully-equipped race hospital is in operation at each Race Village. At each stage finish line riders' bikes are cleaned by the Bike Wash team while the Woolworths Recovery Zone restores energy levels with nutritious lunch and snacks. From the first to the last stage, rider bags are transported between the different Race Villages.
