109km – The Classic Challenge

The 109km route remains one of the most scenic cycling experiences in the world. Cyclists will pedal through Cape Town’s southern suburbs, the False Bay coastline and past Simon’s Town’s penguins.

After reaching the Cape Point Nature Reserve, they’ll make their way through Scarborough and Misty Cliffs, getting their first views of the famous Chapman’s Peak Drive.

The route’s final challenge, the Suikerbossie climb, leads to a descent through Camps Bay and Clifton, with the race finishing in Green Point.

42km – Half the distance, all the fun 

The 42km route, launched in 2023, provides an accessible option for cyclists who may not yet be ready for the full 109km challenge but still want to enjoy the vibrant festival atmosphere.

Riders will cycle along the vineyards of Constantia and the cool Newlands Forest, benefitting from fully closed roads, refreshment stops and great crowd support. It’s a perfect introduction to the Cape Town Cycle Tour experience.
