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 2023:
Pre-Event Accommodation
Post-Event Accommodation
Accommodation Upgrade
Laundry
Massage Service
Mobile Home Parking
Personal Race Nutrition
Personal Photo Package

If this is your first time visiting South Africa and you would like to experience the city of Cape Town during your stay, then a 3 or 4 night pre-accommodation package is perfect for you.

The 2, 3, 4 and 5 night packages include the Around The World Party which welcomes all our international riders and gives them a chance to proudly share with one another where they come from, while enjoying the company of fellow riders and volunteers from South Africa and around the globe.
