What’s the difference

Should I do the Trail, Adventure or Race?

Over the years, when sani2c became so popular it would sell out immediately, the event grew and was split into the Adventure and the Race, with the elite racing being part of the Race. The Trail was added in 2012 when entries for the Adventure also became hard to come by. In 2020, with a postponed and paired down event happening in December due to COVID-19, the Trail was dropped, but now it makes a comeback as the event that will cater for e-bikers.

The Trail is now for e-bikers and their friends

KAP sani2c has welcomed e-bikes to enter sani2c for several years, and from 2024, the Trail event will be the e-bike race, with a podium and leader jerseys, and e-bikes will not be allowed to enter the Race or Adventure events. Conventional bike teams may join the Trail, which will facilitate mixed parties of e-bikers and conventional bike teams. This shift will mean that e-bikes are well catered for and feel welcome at sani2c.

trail

The Trail is the first of the three sani2c events. This is the event that caters for teams with one, or both, teammates on an e-bike. The Trail also allows for teams with both team members on conventional bikes. Starting on Tuesday and ending in Scottburgh on Thursday.

adventure

The Adventure is the second of the three sani2c events and historically has been the most popular. Starting on Wednesday at Glencairn and ending on Friday in Scottburgh, just in time to enjoy the long weekend at the beach with family and friends. No e-bikes will be allowed to ride the Adventure, they will be welcomed in the Trail.

race

The Race event is the last of the three sani2c events. The Race is where you will find the professional athletes and part-time or ‘working pros’ racing for their respective categories. The tough competition is experienced at the front end of the Race and creates a buzz around who is in the lead after each stage. No e-bikes will be allowed to ride the Race, they will be welcomed in the Trail.
