Course Details

The race is based at Lukenya Academy Campsite within the Lukenya Hills Conservancy. Cyclists choose between the 50km Challenger, 20km Adventure, or 10km Kids route, while trail runners have their own parallel 50km Ultra, 20km, and 10km distances. The terrain is rocky, off-road savanna and hill terrain typical of Lukenya - a hardtail or full suspension MTB is recommended for the cycling distances. Briefing is at 8:00 AM with race start at 8:30 AM.
