Natalie Bergstrom will make her debut in the 350km event, after having competed in the 240km Short Horn event previously.

All distances for this year’s event will be increased, with the challenging 30km ascent to Hilltop Camp falling away.

Bergstrom and her North Coast team are pumped up for the event after Covid-19 put a damper on all sporting events over the past seven months.

Entry fees will help assist with rhino conservation in KZN.

Riders will complete a section through the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and into Bonamanzi.
