SUBARU GRAVEL SHAKER: 3 MAY 2025

The Gravel Race on Saturday 3 May 2025 sponsored by Subaru Centurion is ideal for gravel and mountain bikes. You can choose between a 110km, 50km or 30km route to suit your level of cycling. All three routes start and finish inside the Sondela Nature Reserve at the Reception area. The route exits and returns to the Reserve via a side gate. From here you will venture into the wide and open plains on gravel roads where very few cyclists have ridden before! With the wind in your face and the gravel grinding under your wheels, you will leave all your troubles behind and revel in the pleasures of being out in nature for a few hours.

You can enter in your age category to race against your own age group and in the distance that is specified for your age category. Alternatively, if you want to ride with your mates or family, or if you want ride a distance other than what is allowed for your age category group, you can enter in the Open Category.

We strongly recommend that only experienced riders enter for the 110km race. The route is flat, but demanding and should not be underestimated.
