The City is gearing up to host the 47th Cape Town Cycle Tour this Sunday, with some road closures already in place.

Approximately 30 000 cyclists will be tackling three routes, including the traditional 109km route from the Grand Parade circling the Cape Peninsula on Sunday, 9 March 2025.

The 78km Invitational Women’s Race and the U17 Boys Race will take off from Fish Hoek and finish in Green Point.

For the third year in a row, those looking for a less demanding challenge will take on the 42km route from the Grand Parade to the Southern Suburbs and finish in the city centre.

Below are the full road closures you can expect this weekend.
