Sani2c is a three-day mountain biking event held annually in South Africa. The event takes place in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, starting in the Drakensberg Mountains and finishing at the coast of the Indian Ocean. The name "Sani2c" is derived from the Sani Pass, a famous mountain pass that forms part of the route. The event attracts thousands of participants from around the world, who compete in teams of two or individually. The route covers approximately 260km and includes singletrack, jeep tracks, farm roads and gravel roads. Riders traverse through some of the most spectacular scenery in South Africa, including indigenous forests, river crossings, rolling hills and farmlands. The first day of the race is known as the "Trail Day," where riders tackle a 82km route from the foothills of the Drakensberg to the small town of Mackenzie. The second day is known as the "Race Day," and riders cover 99km of undulating terrain through sugarcane and pineapple plantations. The final day, known as the "Fun Day," is a 60km ride to the finish at Scottburgh on the coast of the Indian Ocean. The event has a festive atmosphere, with riders camping overnight and enjoying entertainment and food at the race village. The race is known for its camaraderie and the sense of community it creates among participants. Sani2c is a challenging and rewarding experience for mountain bikers of all levels, from amateur to professional, and is considered one of the premier mountain bike races in South Africa.
