The Absa Cape Epic presented by adidas takes place every year around the last week of March and the first week of April. The race is held over 8 days and includes a time-trial prologue. The route changes every year, and leads aspiring amateur and professional mountain bikers from around the world through approximately 800 kilometres of the unspoilt nature of the Western Cape and up approximately 16 000m of climbing over some of the most magnificent passes in South Africa.
The Rotary Club of Morningside is a dynamic club based in Gauteng, South Africa, committed to raising awareness of important humanitarian issues through events such as its annual Spring Charity Walk, and now, via the gruelling ABSA Cape Epic. Six teams have committed to raising funds for the club, to put towards the club's flagship project, the Sandton Crisis Counselling Centre, to be built in Sandton, Johannesburg, Gauteng. Examples of past projects include the SANCA drugs and alcohol Rehabilitation Centre and Family Support Project, the Diepsloot Counselling Centre, the Zikhuliseni Skills Training Centre at Bophelong Place of Life, the Embezweni Child Care Centre, the Sefikeng Primary School Upliftment Project, careers days at Sekolo sa Borokgo School, Randburg, and many others.
