Entry Package

Kindling by ChemChamp is a full-service gravel event. For three days of gravel in the Karoo, everything you need is taken care of.

What's Included

Full-service through and through

From the start line in Graaff Reinet to when you return to this charming Karoo town after a long weekend of riding and two nights at Blaauwater Burn Camp, we have you covered. We handle the admin – setting up camp, keeping you fuelled throughout the day, preparing meals, cleaning bikes and more. So all that is left to do is pedal, because you'll want to soak it all up, every last thing.

Rider Support

Padstals (service stations) along the marked route provide nutrition including sweet and savoury snacks plus neutral tech support.

Medical

Professional medical staff are on hand at Blaauwater Burn Camp and stationed out on the course ready for emergencies.

Bike Wash

After you roll across the finish line each day your bike is washed while you recover and prepare for the next stage.

Meals

Our chefs draw on Karoo recipes to fuel you up for the next day, sourcing ingredients from the region when possible.

Accommodation

After a magnificent day out you’ll enjoy some R&R in your own spacious canvas tent with camping bed, mattress and more.
