14 February is a date to remember, not only is it Valentines Day, but also the day that entries are opening for the FNB Wines2Whales. The race’s biggest drawcard is undoubtedly the route, which has been perfected over the past 15 years. In 2025, the race will follow the Switchback route and take teams from the shores of Benguela Cove to Oak Valley and finish at Lourensford Wine Estate. The route is packed with sections that both thrill and torment. With incredible views, new trails and, of course, the old favourites will be back.
