The Sedgefield 500 was not just a race; it was a test of endurance, spirit, and self-reliance. With 500 km of rugged terrain winding through South Africa’s most beautiful wilderness, this event embodies what Gravalist is all about—pushing your limits and discovering yourself along the way.
Each of the 14 riders who set out on this journey had a unique story, a challenge to overcome, and a goal to achieve. Starting at 06:00 on Friday, September 6th, with a mandatory selfie at Pump 3, Engen Sedgefield, the adventure began. This was not just a scenic ride; it was a self-supported experience through open roads, wild landscapes, and moments of pure exhaustion.
