In April 2026, the world’s finest gravel racers will descend upon South Africa’s Western Cape for an event that redefines stage racing. Welcome to the Garden Route Giro, a six-day gravel odyssey through some of the most diverse and breathtaking landscapes on the planet. From the rugged coastline of Mossel Bay to the lush coastal forests of Wilderness, this race is more than a challenge—it’s a journey through time, terrain, and untamed beauty.

With fierce competition, relentless climbs, fast-paced gravel sprints, and jaw-dropping scenery, the Garden Route Giro promises to be the most sought-after gravel stage race in the world. Riders will battle through a grueling 684-kilometer route, crossing towering mountain passes, rolling farmlands, deep river valleys, and the arid expanse of the Karoo, before returning to the ocean’s edge.
