According to organizers, the 5-day race is open to all participants who wish either to join the full 65km stage from Nyabihu to Rubavu, or  the shorter 20km ride within Rubavu.

“The adventure is more than just a race because participants will traverse approximately 300km covering five stages at altitudes above 5000 meters and will be navigating through the rough terrains.”

“The aim of the race is not just sport related but also to showcase Rwanda’s natural beauty, culture, and potential as a top destination for adventure tourism.” organizers’ statement read.

Stage 2 which is dubbed the Queen Stage, a masterpiece, a monster but mostly, a beauty! see participants taking to the foot of the Volcanoes (Virungas).

On Day-3, competitors will face a faster, deeper dive into the countryside and the beautiful northern region of the country while experiencing endless bumpy lava stone sections as part of the menu for stage 3.

Riders will have to  race in a high altitude on Day-4 before concluding  the last and final stage on Rwanda’s highest dirt roads that literally drive into lake Kivu.

According to organizers, stage 5 is also the most crowded, one with loud cheerings and support from the local fans.
