Absa Cape Epic 2024 | Twentieth edition route announced
The 2024 Absa Cape Epic
613km | 16850m Climbing
The 2024 Absa Cape Epic. The twentieth edition. And a route filled with untamed challenges. One that features 16 650 metres of climbing. Packed into 616 kilometres of racing. At a rate of 27 metres of elevation gain per kilometre. From the Prologue, in Lourensford, to the Grand Finale, in Stellenbosch, every stage is designed to test teams to the limit. Questioning if they are prepared for the opportunities ahead. If they can brave the untamed. And conquer as one.
This is the 2024 Absa Cape Epic route, presented by Toyota. Are you tough enough?
