Set against South Africa’s breathtaking Eastern Cape Wild Coast, this three-day mountain biking adventure covers approximately 145km of rugged coastline, rolling hills and unforgettable trails.
More than a race, it’s a chance for riders, clients and the community to connect — celebrating the thrill of the ride, the beauty of the land and the legendary Eastern Cape hospitality.
As proud lead sponsor of the Investec Great Kei Trek, we look forward to once again making a meaningful difference in the local community, while sharing in an experience that is as rewarding as it is exhilarating.
Riding with purpose
At Investec, we believe in building meaningful connections – with people, places and communities.
Now in its sixth year, the Investec Great Kei Trek supports initiatives that make a lasting difference in Morgan Bay, Kei Mouth and the Old Transkei.
Thanks to rider participation and sponsorship support, we’ve:
- Rebuilt a local school and funded five teachers
- Upgraded a crèche and two rural clinics
- Constructed sports fields for local youth
- Provided transport and stationery for hundreds of learners
We ride for more than the view. We ride to invest in people.
This isn’t a race – it’s a connection. From the moment the ride begins, the journey becomes about more than just the terrain. It’s the conversations between riders, the hospitality of the communities, and the knowledge that every kilometre supports something bigger than ourselves. We come back not only fitter, but more grounded.
Across 145km of Eastern Cape trails, the Investec Great Kei Trek offers a balance of challenge and charm – from river crossings to remote paths and seaside villages. Each stage is designed to create space for reflection, connection and impact.

Adventure with impact. Connection with purpose.
The Investec Great Kei Trek reflects our values – and our belief in doing well by doing good.
It offers a chance for clients, colleagues and partners to come together in a setting that is both grounding and generous – where every moment on the bike contributes to a greater cause.
Through this partnership, we continue to support education, early childhood development and healthcare across the Eastern Cape.
