The Grit North West

Close to home. Far from easy. The Grit North West is a single-stage, non-stop MTB endurance race starting and finishing at Die Krip just ten minutes outside Magaliesburg, right on Joburg's doorstep. Don't let the convenience fool you. Over 400km of the gnarly North West awaits, and you have 50 hours to get it done. You don't need to travel far to find out what you're made of. Quiet dirt roads, wide open landscapes, Four fully stocked waterpoints manned by farmers who know how to look after a suffering rider, and one race villages where you can eat, sleep, and question all your life choices before getting back on the bike. This is the Grit format at its finest raw, real, and close enough that you have absolutely no excuse not to enter.
