PROLOGUE START TIMES

You will find your start time on the race register on the Absa Cape Epic Website, or you can access it via the Epic Series App. It is crucial that you and your partner check-in at the designated call up area 20min before your allocated start time. If a team misses their start time, they will have to start at the back of the field, and their time will be taken from their allocated start time.

Familiar Ground

Nerves are, more often than not, the biggest hurdle of the Absa Cape Epic Prologue. However, at Meerendal, the pace will be fierce after a calm start allows for the rapid finding of rhythm. The Stairway to Heaven Climb leads to the unforgiving pitches of Dorstberg, where fans and supporters will line the trails, their cheers echoing across the lands.

It will be easy to get carried away on the Prologue and venture into the red. But remember, no team has ever won the Absa Cape Epic on Prologue day. If smarts are applied, the opening 20 kilometers of the race can kickstart the momentum that will be so necessary for success in what is set to be an Absa Cape Epic for the ages.
