Date & time

The Gravel Burn is a 7-day, 850km, full-service, international gravel-bike stage race, starting in Knysna, traversing the breathtaking landscapes of the Great Karoo and ending with an iconic African Big 5 wildlife welcome in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. The inaugural event will take place from 26 October to 1 November 2025.
