THE ULTIMATE TOUR IN ULTRA ENDURANCE RACING
What is The Munga?
The
toughest races on earth
“At the Munga we celebrate what it is to be human. We know the fight. We know what it means to grovel, and grind, and crawl in desperation to the light at the end of the tunnel. We know what it’s like to hang on to a thread, but claw and pull it back till it’s a tight rope, and walk that thin line, balancing the life and death of dreams, till at last we lean forward and the momentum of action carries us inexorably towards our destiny! At the Munga, we know what it’s like to live, but really live”
Alex Harris – Munga Race Director
THIS ARE THE MUNGA PRINCIPLES

- You are free to ride at your own pace and we will support every rider.
- We will have three vehicles that would be in front of the first rider and one behind the last rider, with the third somewhere in between
- We will setup mini waterpoints with snacks & sandwiches, and/or have lunch/brunches along the way each day at the actual Munga WP’s/RV’s
- The principle is to start very early (04:00 TO The principle is to start very early (04:00 TO 6:00) & finish by 17:00/18:00 every evening, in order to have a nice shower and to enjoy Dinner & Wine together and talk about the day’s experiences.
- This is a Tour and not a Race if anyone is confused

SOMETHING SPECIAL
The Munga Race Route tour follows the iconic Munga mountain bike race for the most part. Although on two of the days we will expose you to some private trails and sections that are not part of the race route. As such, it is steeped not just in race history, but in the varied and mysterious life that make up a karoo sheep farmer! Some unique aspects include:
- Roughly 1000km of the iconic Munga Race route
- Between 800m and 1200m of climbing per day
- Iconic race sections and passes including the Ouberg Pass, Razzle Dazzle, Bo-Swaarmoed and more!
- Farm-cooked meals in the evenings by some of the Munga race hosts themselves
- A selection of fine wines to make the days riding more memorable
- A visit to two remote Boer War battlefields and a short talk at each.
- Access to vehicle support where possible.
- A chance to earn 3 tour stripes (white), and become a Sarge!
***Please note: The tour starts in Bloemfontein and ends in Wellington. Riders need to arrange their own transport to the start and from the finish. It is possible to have your car driven from Bloemfontein to Doolhof potentially at a fee (TBA). It is also possible to assist with travel arrangements so give us a shout!
THE ULTIMATE LIFE CHANGING EXPERIENCE YOU CAN HAVE ON A BICYCLE.
