All mountain bike and trail running races have uniquely designed routes, independent of the Absa Cape Epic route, that cater for outdoor enthusiasts of all fitness levels.
Liqui-Fruit iCan which raises funds for Operation Smile South Africa, will be the official charity of the Liqui-Fruit Cape Times Vineyard races. Operation Smile funds corrective surgery for children born with cleft lips and cleft palates, helping to give these children their smiles back.
