Cape Town: The city is organising 47th edition of the Cape Town Cycle Tour on March 09, 2025. It will make a great impact on the cyclists this year.
The 2025 Cape Town Cycle Tour’s theme is ‘Nature Connect’ and is calling on cyclists who are up for a challenge and want to ride for a cause on one of the most iconic cycle routes in the world. By cycling for nature, you will be supporting their mission to empower communities through conservation and sustainability.
Cape Town Cycle Tour Prelude Challenge
Dubbed as the biggest timed bike race in the world, the Cape Town Cycle Tour event attracts thousands of cyclists from across the world as they cycle some of the most pristine landscapes of the City of Cape Town.
As part of an ongoing commitment to inclusivity and community spirit, the Cape Town Cycle Tour has launched its inaugural 2025 Prelude Challenge. This is an exciting new initiative that offers cyclists from around the world, who may not be able to ride on event day. It is a great opportunity to earn their official Cape Town Cycle Tour medal and finishers’ credit.
The Prelude Challenge will run from Saturday, February 22, 2025 to Sunday, March 02, 2025 that is giving you ample time to complete the challenge on your terms.
Register to participate, through the main Cycle Tour entry portal. Then, cycle 19km within 7 hours – whether on the road, outdoors, or on a stationary bike in a virtual environment. Once you complete your cycle, upload your ride to Strava and you’re all set to go.
