2024 Race to the Sea Highlights

Scenery was indescribable but the route was super tough to say the least - a hard day in the saddle!

Conquering the 164km Race to the Sea mountain bike race from Franchoek to Hermanus one climb at a time 8 Many hours spent in the saddle enduring the endless 2635 meters of climbing and the exhillarating descents as we traverse through the picturesque Overberg Canola fields to the sea. #livefortheadventure #lovetheride #ironmantraining Absolute Motion. More fun when you're fit, and so much more enjoyable with friends.

Thank you for a superb experience from start to finish. Water Points were great …friendly support, well stocked with a variety of snacks to keep us going ⭐ … route was well marked all the way ⭐… single tracks added to the fun element ⭐… and the red cheerleader ladies ended my race on an even higher note ⭐ … well done to the whole Race to the Sea team / organisers.

What a beautiful day and route! But tough as nails! Becoming a favourite!

Unbelievably well organised, Incredible scenery and a ‘bucket list’ event. Compliments to every marshal and water point personal, thumbs up to a great race.

Great footage of a special event! And ANY race organized by @Faces is spectacular on all levels.
