Once again though we are allowing riders not riding in teams, or even on e-bikes to enter the race, but those will not be ranked. Riders who lose a teammate along the race will also be allowed to continue solo, out of competition.

We strive to provide opportunities to as many of the East African talent as we can, and each entry to the race will sponsor 15% of an East African spot. Want to sponsor more, you can select some extra donation at checkout!
