WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICAS MOST DIVERSE STAGE RACE
The 2027 edition of the M&G Investments PE PLETT is taking on a slightly different format. Our riders will start their journey from St Francis Links Golf Course, St Francis Bay, following over 280 kms along the famous Garden Route and finishing 4 days later in Natures Valley.
For 2027 we have a whole new Day 1 lined up. Once again, we will start from St Francis Links, nestled in the tranquil holiday town of St Francis Bay. From here, we will head towards Fynbos Ridge Golf Estate, a brand new overnight stop for 2027, promising to create a whole new Day 1 and 2.
Whether you’re a dedicated racer or a relaxed rider, this is a spectacular journey you shouldn’t miss. Entries are limited to 250 riders for our two batches, being “The Ride” and “The Tour“. This prestigious event has sold out for the last 8 years. We also have a new pricing structure, which means the earlier you enter, the more you save as we build up to South Africa’s most diverse stage race. Click here to see the fee structure ahead of the 2025 event.
"The Tour" batch will set off 15 minutes after "The Ride" For the 2027 edition, we have multiple entry options, pick what suits you best!
