The Ceder 2025 UCI Gravel World Series

The Ceder Event blends adventure and competition in the beautiful Cederberg region, just three hours from Cape Town. With options for all skill levels, participants can choose from three cycling distances. Originating at the iconic Cederberg Oasis, the event has grown significantly and will move to Nuwerust Farm in 2025 as part of the UCI Gravel World Series, making it South Africa's only qualifying gravel race for the UCI Gravel World Championships.

The Cederberg highlights the importance of ongoing conservation efforts, and The Ceder is committed to positively impacting local communities by inspiring youth to engage in cycling, while also collaborating with the Farfield Foundation to sponsor early childhood development and education.

Join us in pushing limits, celebrating nature's beauty, and making a lasting impact on the Cederberg!
