Holla Trails 82km Route
The Holla Trails 82km Route is one of the most ambitious single-day riding options in KwaZulu-Natal — a full-day expert route that links the full Holla singletrack network with extended gravel road connections through the Drakensberg foothills into a comprehensive midlands epic. Few venues in South Africa offer this scale of riding from a single trailhead.
What to Expect
Singletrack and gravel roads on expert terrain covering significant elevation change through the KZN midlands-Drakensberg foothills transition zone. The 82km distance requires 6–10 hours in the saddle — start before 06:00, carry 4L+ water and full nutrition, and plan the logistics meticulously. The route delivers the full quality of Holla’s trail-building craft extended into an epic distance that very few riders complete in a single season.
