The course

The route

Four consecutive stages totalling around 650km and 7,000m of climbing across the high Maasai Mara savannah. The four stage times are added together, so the lowest cumulative time over the four days wins the overall.

Intervals.icu

Four races, not one

Typical sessions

Four hard stages back-to-back, where recovery between them matters as much as raw fitness

Heat and altitude that both tax every effort and dehydrate you faster than you expect

Rough, remote gravel: sand, corrugations, dust and river crossings, stage after stage

Basic self-service camps, where eating, sleeping and staying warm at altitude is part of the race

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Weekend doubles: a long Saturday gravel ride, then a second ride Sunday on tired legs

Big weekends and multi-day gravel trips that rehearse racing and camp recovery together

Long Z2 gravel rides out to 4 to 7 hours, dialling in your on-bike fuelling

Midday heat rides and post-ride sauna work to prepare for equatorial, high-altitude conditions

Not a generic schedule

Typical sessions

Built from your current fitness and the time you actually have

Adapts every week as Beina learns how you respond

Syncs your sessions straight to Garmin and Wahoo

One clear next session, never a wall of spreadsheet
