Event Calendar

Due to adverse weather conditions this race was regrettably cancelled on Sunday 13 September at short notice. WP Cycling take the safety of our participants very seriously and after consultation with our safety officer, the race officials, regional health and safety representatives and race organisers we decided to call off the race.

THIS RACE HAS NOW BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY 20 SEPTEMBER 2020!!!

All existing entries will be carried forward and we are reopening entries for the ladies and 80km races.  Entries are limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis. This opportunity to enter these races will close at 12h00 (noon) on Friday 18 September or once full. Substitutions are also possible. Refer to the event details below.

After months of lock-down WP Cycling will be hosting the first road race post lock down this September and we are hoping that it will be a great success.

We are trying to host a safe event, but that comes at a bit of a cost to all concerned.  There are a lot of restrictions that have been imposed insofar as numbers of participants, staff and support that we are allowed to have at an event.  To accommodate this, we unfortunately cannot allow any spectators.  There will also be strict controls in place regarding registration, taking of temperatures of ALL people at the event and details of this will be sent to each participant in an email once registration has closed.

We can only cater for u/19 and older at this race.

The route is a mixture of rolling hills on the one side and a flat sometimes windy section called ‘Waaihoek’ on the other side. The race will cross the Breede River by using the low cement bridge. Please keep on checking social media should this area experience heavy rains.
