This road race will cover three distances:

• A 5 km (all ages)
• A 50 km race for participants aged 13 and older
• A 100.8 km race for persons 19 years and older

This event aims to build social cohesion among key stakeholders across all sectors within our city and beyond. It caters for both family and businesses, advocating healthy living through the promotion of cycling as an activity for all and creating fun and engaging spaces to network and socialise.

Through this event SPU hopes to:

• Bring people together and have them be part of the greater #MySPU community.
• Hold a well-organised, professionally run cycle race that is a positive, safe experience for participants who are either cycling enthusiasts or leisure riders.
• Reach a maximum audience in terms of both, participants and the public to strengthen the ties between the University and its surrounding communities.
• Create an event and an experience for participants that reflects the values of Sol Plaatje University.
• Promote awareness of healthy living.
