Drikus Coetzee, the champion of 2022, is returning to #TheUltimateRace to steal back his title. With the current course record behind his name, the question is whether he can surpass his own time and set another record, or if he will face challenges from Mother Nature's elements.

Not sure what to pack in your checkpoint boxes? The dimensions are 33cm x 33cm x 20cm. Recommended items are spare batteries for your lights, a tire repair kit and spare tubes, dry clothes in case of bad weather, personal medication, and preferred food supplements. Happy packing!

@Stofsayer @bikehubber Unfortunately no GPX file available. The route is very well marked with many marshalls to guide you the correct way.

@bikehubber can anyone point me to @The36ONE GPX file for 2024?
