Event Highlights

Open savanna terrain around Stanley Dairy Ranch in Salama
Distances ranging from 30km to 60km across the two days

Course Details
The event uses GPS self-navigation so riders must have a device capable of following a GPX route. The terrain around Salama is rolling to undulating savanna on a mix of dirt tracks and farm roads. Saturday's route is longer than Sunday's. Riders should be comfortable navigating independently.
Getting There
Stanley Dairy Ranch is near Salama in Makueni County, approximately 80km southeast of Nairobi on the A109 Mombasa Road. Turn off toward Salama (Ulu) before reaching Athi River. The drive from Nairobi takes about 1 to 1.5 hours.
