Cape Town to host ABSA Cape Epic

THIS year’s ABSA Cape Epic mountain biking challenge is set to take place in Cape Town from March 20-27.

The eight-day race will traverse the mountain biking route that covers private land, national parks and forestry regions.

A finish line event is planned in Lourensford Estate, where spectators and supporters can watch bikers end their race and celebrate the prize-giving with live entertainment, a chill-out bar and a picnic.

“We are thrilled to host events of this magnitude in Cape Town and hope that participants’ families will take advantage of the timing and enjoy a week of leisure in Cape Town. It’s certainly one of the most favourable times to visit with plenty to do and great weather to enjoy,” says Cape Town Tourism CEO, Mariette du-Toit Helmbold.
