The Stanford 100 Miler is set for Saturday 5 December 2026 at Stanford Hills Estate in Stanford, Western Cape. Bike Hub lists it as a one-day dirt-road race in the Overstrand, with gravel bikes, MTBs and e-bikes all welcome — useful, because December legs rarely arrive in one neat flavour.
Three distances from Stanford Hills
The event listing gives riders three distances from the same Stanford base: the 100 Miler at 169km with 2,358m of elevation and a 07:30 start; the 50 Miler at 77km with 1,365m and an 08:30 start; and the 25 Miler at 40km with 500m and a 09:30 start. Each distance has a strict cut-off: 10 hours, six hours and four hours respectively.
The planned start and finish are at Stanford Hills Estate. The route description points riders onto dirt roads around Stanford and the wider Overstrand, with clay hardpack, rural gravel and late-course twists all part of the advertised flavour rather than a polished-bike parade.
Useful choice for mixed riding groups
For women looking at a first long gravel target, a shorter mixed-surface effort or a day out on the MTB, the useful bit is choice. A 40km, 77km and 169km spread makes it easier for riding groups with different fitness, calendars and confidence levels to line up at the same event without pretending everyone wants the same day in the saddle.
Entries, GPS and final details
Regular pricing is listed until 14 November, with late pricing from 15 to 30 November. Entries close strictly on 30 November 2026, and the listing says no on-day entries will be available. GPX files and final race information are due to be sent by email in the week before the race, and a fully functional GPS device is marked as essential.
One admin wrinkle: the page’s main event date is Saturday 5 December 2026, but one registration line refers to race morning as 06 December 2025. We have not used that conflicting line as event guidance; riders should follow the official entry process and final organiser communications for confirmed timings.
