The story

KAP sani2c in Underberg to Scottburgh

The KAP sani2c is a three-day, 270 km mountain bike stage race in KwaZulu-Natal, running from a sheep farm near the Sani Pass in the southern Drakensberg down to Scottburgh on the Indian Ocean coast. A related nonstop endurance format covers the same 256 km route within a 24-hour cutoff.

The KAP sani2c takes its name from its start and end points: the Sani Pass, the mountain pass connecting the southern Drakensberg to Lesotho, and the coastal town of Scottburgh south of Durban.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The route descends through the KZN Midlands mist belt across dairy and timber farms, indigenous forest and the Umkomaas Valley before finishing on the Indian Ocean coastline, a traverse of ecological zones few multi-day mountain bike races anywhere can match

02

The mystery stays covered

Riders can enter the standard three-day OG event, which includes e-bike categories, or the one-day sani2c nonstop, a teamed endurance format covering roughly 256 km within a 24-hour cutoff on largely the same trails

03

The city starts moving

Since 2017 the event's community model has been formalised as the sani2c Community Development Trust, which channels race revenue into schools, charities and entrepreneurs along the route

04

The water draws everyone in

UCI-sanctioned racing at the front of the field has produced tight sprint finishes on nearly every stage in recent editions
