Course Details
The race starts and finishes in Machakos Town, looping through the characteristic rolling hills of Machakos County. The Elite/Open category is the harder day - Day 1 is the longer stage at 80km, with Day 2 a slightly shorter 70km, but both carry 1,500m of elevation each. The Recreational and U19 routes are more accessible at 43km and 45km, with 1,000m and 1,300m of climbing respectively. Expect mix of tarmac roads and punchy Machakos climbs. A road or gravel bike is appropriate.
