PE to Plett MTB Race

Start Date: 03 September, 2015

End Date: 06 September, 2015

Its more than a ride … it’s an Adventure!

The 2nd year of PE PLETT and year one for Isuzu Trucks as title sponsor was a resounding success and the strapline “The Tough One” says it all.

Many referred to the event as the “Mini Epic” and is the perfect playground to test your MTB skill and fitness. The commitment by Craig Uren COO of Isuzu Trucks to a minimum of 3 years is exciting and we expect PE PLETT to grow from strength to strength.

The 2015 route

The route in 2015 will once again reverse and the start will be at Wedgewood Country Estate outside of Port Elizabeth and the finish will be quite dramatic as the riders cross the Keurbooms River by floating bridge and onto the finish line at Forever Resorts. The distances for each day will be less than 100km with Day 4 being 80km into the Finish Line.
