About Berg 100
Berg100 is a one-day off-road cycling event held in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands of South Africa. The 2027 edition introduces a revised circular course, starting and finishing at Waterwoods Equestrian Estate near Fort Nottingham.
The event offers two distances, 100 km and 67 km, on a route described by the organiser as approximately 90% gravel district roads and 10% tarmac.
Although primarily organised as a mountain-bike race, Berg100 also welcomes gravel bikes and e-bikes. Riders should be aware that some sections may be rough, and the organiser recommends mountain bikes for the terrain.
