With the conservation of the Renosterveld in mind, the race will always be capped – and that’s the reason why you should enter SOON – no queues for homemade food and hot showers like in so many of the other big MTB races!  Some more reason to do the Rhino this year:

  • A challenging but beautiful route with the West Coast in full bloom;
  • Race garment plus Resolution Health Ride the Rhino shirt on last day;
  • Real local home made meals (All Inclusive);
  • The best water holes by Darling Dairies (bottled ice water and juices and snacks);
  • Wine holes along the route for brave who want to UP the antioxidants;
  • Local hospitality and entertainment and happy hour with free drinks every day;
  • Exciting goody bag and daily prizes (for winning and lucky draws);
  • Resolution Health Race shirt on Day 3 and
  • A bottle of Nitida wine and a medal with a difference at the Finish.
