The Burra 500

Date: 17 to 20 June 2023

This is the Burra500. A self-supported bike packing race taking place in the beautiful KZN Midlands from June 17th to June 20th.

Sling Cycles Branko Brjklac, Stefan Kuun and 10 x Ironman competitor, Sue Peterkin, will tackle a grueling 515 km course with an elevation gain of 10,000 m, starting and finishing at a shopping mall parking lot in Pietermaritzburg.

This winter event is not for the faint-hearted, as our riders will be required to carry all their own gear, food, and supplies for the duration of the race. With no support stations along the way, participants must be prepared for all weather conditions and ready to push their limits.

You get a route .gpx file and you ride it your way. Do it over the full 60-hour cut-off and stop where you like, or test your mettle and ride it non-stop!
