Herald Cycle Tour Road

106km
Riders start off by tackling the streets of Walmer. The route maintains with the 55km course up the Longbarn Climb, after which riders endure the testing climb of Lake Farm.

Riders then head Eastward along Kragga Kamma Road meeting a much flatter course for the next few kilometers, before heading up Butterfield Road. After a short stretch on the Old Cape Road, riders meander through Draaifontein Road before descending down “The Wall” at high speed to the base of the Maitlands Climb. Here riders will hope for a tail wind as they ascend the climb of Maitlands before continuing along Seaview Road. Riders tackle the last stretch of the race, along Schoenmakerskop and accelerate their way past the picturesque coastal village, returning to the Start/Finish via Marine Drive.
55km
The 2023 route remains unchanged with riders tackling some challenging climbs but also being treated to stunning views along the Gqeberha coastline.

Riders begin at Pollok Beach, head down Marine Drive, continue onto Beach Road and turn left into Walmer Boulevard. Riders then tackle the streets of Walmer up to the top of Mount Pleasant. From here the route deviates off Seaview Road and tackles the Longbarn Climb followed by the undulations of Old Seaview Road. The route rejoins Seaview Road and continues Eastward through Schoemakerskop, returning to the Start/Finish via Marine Drive.
