A 4-day gravel stage race across the remote Maasai Mara, Kenya — ~650 km of wild, high, hot savannah gravel with self-service race camps. Amani-project linked. Multi-day durability and camp recovery decide it.
Four days of gravel racing across the remote Maasai Mara, out among the wildlife on the open Kenyan savannah. A small international field, self-service camps, run from 16 to 19 June 2027.
The tracks are rough and wild: sand, corrugations, dust and stream crossings, all at altitude under a fierce equatorial sun. You race hard by day and recover in basic camps by night.
This is self-reliant racing, far from help. Whoever manages the heat, the fuelling and the camp nights best, not just whoever is fastest on fresh legs, comes out on top.
Is Migration Gravel Race for you?
- Durability riders over one-day flyers. This rewards racing on tired legs day after day, not a single big power number.
- Athletes who recover with discipline. Refuelling, hydrating and sleeping in a basic camp between stages decides as much as the riding.
- Adventurous, self-sufficient riders. You are remote for four days, so handling rough gravel and fixing your own bike are part of the deal.
- Riders who cope with heat and altitude. The Mara is hot and high, and pacing by feel instead of ego keeps you in the race.
