The Croc2Croc is a three-day mountain bike stage race in Mpumalanga that allows you to enjoy the striking Steenkamp escarpment situated just below Dullstroom. There are four – that’s right FOUR – distance options that makes it a stage race that anyone can finish. But the 200-rider entry limit means that you can’t take too long to decide on which distance to enter!
The second annual Croc2Croc will take place from 12-14 May 2017 and is open to either two-rider teams or solo entries and incorporates three days of racing (or riding) in the beautiful wilderness area between the Crocodile River and the Dullstroom Highlands.
The event is based at the beautiful and luxurious Verlorenkloof Estate, which means no tent torment and access to all the daily requirements of your comfort zone. It’s less than a three-hour drive from Johannesburg and Pretoria but feels a world away.
The four distance options are:
- Cruiz Croc: Total distance – 105km; Total climbing – 2000m; Cost – R4950 per rider
- Mild Croc: Total distance – 150km; Total climbing – 3000m; Cost – R5450 per rider
- Wild Croc: Total distance – 180km; Total climbing – 3800m; Cost – R5950 per rider
- Crazee Croc: Total distance – 210km; Total climbing – 4500m; Cost – R6450 per rider
All distances: Supporter cost, sharing with a rider – R2950 per supporter (see website for supporter benefits)
Because the Croc2Croc organisers understand that we sometimes underestimate our fitness levels, they allow riders to scale down a distance should the distance they entered for become too formidable.
The entry fee includes:
- 3 nights (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) luxury en-suite accommodation at Verlorenkloof. Late entries will be accommodated at partner lodges (space permitting).
- All meals at Verlorenkloof inclusive of Friday evening dinner, Saturday breakfast, post-race snacks and dinner, and Sunday breakfast and buffet lunch.
- Water points with all the necessary hydration and nutrition, including The Cow Shed’s legendary gourmet burgers for Wild Crocs and Crazee Crocs!
- Medical assistance and evacuation support in the event of an emergency.
- Technical support at main water points (including sweepers on the Cruiz Croc and Mild Croc routes).
- All other standard event benefits
