About the event
The Grit Trans Xhariep is a new addition to the Girt mountain bike stage race through the rugged heartland of South Africa's Free State. Set against the backdrop of vast horizons, unforgiving gravel roads, and the kind of terrain that humbles even the toughest riders, this is where grit meets gravel and determination meets destiny.
Trans Xhariep isn't just a race but the 100 miler IS! This race will test your legs, challenge your mind, and reveal what you're truly made of.
