Nope, both the 160km & 80km start and finish at Fairview farm.

Why is there 2 nights accommodation included?

The day before the race (21 February) registration takes place, live entertainment and tented accommodation is included at the venue so that you can just wakeup, have breakfast and head to the start line. On 22 February the race will start at 06:30 and we expect riders to finish from 14:00-18:00 thus offering another night’s accommodation along with dinner and prize giving.
