The Ceder UCI Gravel World Series 2026

Discover The Ceder, a bold gravel race set in the wild, dramatic beauty of the Cederberg, just 3 hours from Cape Town. Ride through ancient fynbos, rooibos and mango farms, vineyards and raw mountain terrain that tests grit and rewards presence.

Two distances welcome every rider, the 151 km challenge or a 68 km option for weekend warriors and seasoned gravel pros alike. Born at the iconic Cederberg Oasis (the smiley-face inspiration behind our logo), the official race venue is now Nuwerust Farm. The event has grown into a must-do, unpredictable conditions included: snow, heatwaves and everything in between.

Big news for 2026: The Ceder joins the UCI Gravel World Series again, your shot at qualifying for the UCI Gravel World Championships. Ready to find out what you’re made of? Enter The Ceder now.
