What Makes It Great

The Gxalingenwa Adventure (GXA) is a 14km mountain introduction designed for supporters, crew, volunteers, and anyone wanting to taste the RMB UTD experience. The route climbs the Gxalingenwa Gorge past crystal pools and waterfalls, passes through Ngwenwa Cave, descends flowing singletrack to Stromness, and visits the Giants Cup Cafe aid station before a final climb and descent back to the resort. No cutoff, festive atmosphere, and big mountain views — the perfect way to finish the race weekend.
