Six days across the Garden Route.
Long climbs. Proper gravel. Flowing descents.

Moments that test you — and moments that make it all worth it.
From coast to forest to mountain, this is gravel the way it’s meant to be.

Six days. Seven towns. One proper journey.

Entries for the 2027 Garden Route Giro open at 12:00 today for our 2026 Founding Members.

The demand for the 2027 launch resulted in temporary access limitations on the website.

South African riders will be able to enter as normal.

To our international riders — we’re aware of the situation and working to restore full access as quickly as possible. If you’re unable to enter today, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered and will ensure you don’t miss out.

We’ll keep you updated.

You took a leap of faith.

You entered the very first without knowing exactly what the journey would become — the roads, the challenge, the stories, or the experience waiting around each corner.

There were no guarantees. Just a belief in something special.

Today, we honour our 2026 Founding Members — the riders who backed the vision from day one and became part of the story forever.

Take a look. Find your name.

And if 2027 is calling, your place is waiting.
