Rwanda is the Land of a Thousand Hills, and this self-supported gravel race climbs almost all of them: roughly 18,000m of ascent over a ~1,000km loop from Kigali, with essentially no recovery flat.
The route
The loop runs mostly unsealed, around 70% red-dirt and gravel, through tea country, farm tracks and the Lake Kivu fringe before the final grind back to Kigali. A small, boutique field of roughly 130 riders.
Early-February, Kigali loop
Highs around 27°C and lows around 15°C, but it has dropped to 12°C. Rain on 55% of days.
