Known as ‘The Land of a Thousand Hills’, Rwanda is firmly on the cycling map thanks to the annual Tour du Rwanda pro race and last year’s hosting of the UCI Road World Championships. For non-pros it’s also fast becoming a cycling destination thanks to its eclectic mix of landscapes, and Race Around Rwanda is the perfect way to capture its essence.
Now in its sixth year and a prominent event in the ultra-racing calendar, Race Around Rwanda sees riders take on a 1,000km route around the country with 19,000m of climbing, nearly half of which is off-road.
