Event information
Egoli 500 is a 500km unsupported cycling adventure through the heart of Johannesburg and its surroundings.
This gruelling but rewarding experience allows participants to retrace the steps of those early adventurers who traversed the South African landscape in search of fortune.
Embarking on a journey through the picturesque Witwatersrand mountain ranges while delving into the captivating mining towns that emerged during the exhilarating gold rush allows cyclists to forge a deep and meaningful connection with the past. As they pedal along, cyclists witness the remnants of the once-thriving gold mines that played an integral role in shaping the vibrant history of Johannesburg.
This unsupported adventure is a physical and historical journey, reminding us of the audacious spirit and relentless pursuit of dreams that brought about the "City of Gold." Johannesburg's history is not merely etched in the buildings and streets but lives on through the stories of those who came to this land in search of a brighter future and a fortune hidden beneath the earth.
