Ronde Van Swartberg

Get ready for something spectacular! The 2027 edition of Ronde van Swartberg promises a brand-new, breathtaking route through the magnificent Karoo, with all the wide-open spaces, rugged beauty and unforgettable gravel that make this part of the world so special. Choose between our 100 Mile or 50 Mile route, both with a truly iconic finish right at the top of the mighty Swartberg Pass! Once you've conquered the climb and soaked up those incredible views, it's a gentle 1km roll down to Ou Tol, where we'll have a delicious lunch waiting for you on us! From there, enjoy a glorious 20km downhill cruise back into Prince Albert, where the festivities continue at the legendary Swartberg Hotel. Good food, cold drinks, great company and plenty of stories from an epic day in the saddle! And there's even more excitement for 2027! This year, Ronde van Swartberg also doubles as the grand finale of Gravel Bru, our exciting new 3-day gravel stage race that kicks off at the top of Swartberg Pass and takes riders on an unforgettable journey through the Klein Karoo before finishing with Ronde van Swartberg. Fancy turning one epic day into a three-day adventure? Head over to the Gravel Bru page on Entry Ninja for all the details. Big skies. Beautiful gravel. Legendary climbs. Karoo hospitality.
