The Garden Route Giro is a six-day gravel stage race through one of South Africa’s most spectacular and diverse regions. From coastal forests and mountain passes to remote farm roads and historic towns, every stage delivers proper gravel, purposeful racing, and a true sense of journey.
Racing is point-to-point across seven towns, with rider-focused logistics that make moving through the Garden Route seamless. Later morning starts allow for proper recovery, unhurried breakfasts, and time to soak in each venue before lining up again. Carefully selected accommodation hosts riders at the heart of each stage, with many options already in high demand.
This is not a single long sufferfest, but a week of racing done right. Stages are designed to reward consistency, smart pacing, and resilience, with routes that are challenging yet rideable, and gravel that flows as much as it tests.
Whether you’re racing for the overall, riding with friends, or ticking off a bucket-list gravel stage race, the Garden Route Giro offers six stages, seven towns, and one unforgettable week on the bike.
Proper gravel, the way it’s meant to be. Join us in April 2026.
