The 2025 Optional Extra Store will go live on 01 August 2024 at 14:00 (GMT+2).
Riders can visit the Optional Extras store by signing into their online profile. We will update riders of any changes and/or additions to each service as they become applicable.
*If an item is sold out, contact us on registration@cape-epic.com if you'd like to be put onto a waiting list.
Although the event is full service, there are various optional extras to enhance your Absa Cape Epic experience. Whether it is bed and breakfast accommodation or simply getting your clothes washed for a fresh kit the next day, these extras are well worth it and will go a long way in your Untamed African 8-day journey.
Please note that services and upgrades are in high demand and sell out quickly. Only once payment has been received, will your order be confirmed. These items are not available for purchase on registration day, so be sure to book well in advance to avoid disappointment.
Optional extra services purchased are non-refundable. However, if a team withdraws and we are able to re-sell the optional extra (e.g. confirmed hotel room) to another team, we will refund the team and a 15% admin/cancellation fee will apply.
The following optional extras are on offer for 2024:
Pre-Event Accommodation
Post-Event Accommodation
Accommodation Upgrade
Single Tent Upgrade
Laundry
Massage Service
Mobile Home Parking
Personal Race Nutrition
