- Now a Gauteng Gravel Series Race

The Beast is back — and it’s faster, sharper, and officially a race.

It’s a course that rewards strength, smart racing, and grit.

Whether you’re chasing series points, lining up for a result, or taking on the Beast as your own personal challenge, expect a professionally delivered race built around safety, quality routing, and an unforgettable rider experience.
