MAXI ESCAPE ROUTES
Ready to take your escape to the next level? The Maxi Escape gives you more of everything — more distance, more racing and more opportunity to settle into your rhythm before putting the hammer down for the finish.
Your Maxi Escape begins with the swim at Brandvlei Dam, with a water start. You'll be standing in the water at approximately hip-to-chest depth when the start is given, before heading off on the swim course. You'll make your way around the two buoys in an anti-clockwise direction, taking a left-shoulder turn around each buoy, before heading back to shore and into transition.
From there, it's time to escape on two wheels!
The Maxi Escape bike course takes you out onto the road towards Rawsonville and features two full loops of the triangle section. It's a great opportunity to settle into your pace, find your rhythm and enjoy a proper bike course — but remember, the road is still open to traffic, so stay alert, keep left and remain aware of other road users throughout.
Once you've completed your two laps of the triangle, you'll head back towards the dam and into transition, ready to rack the bike and lace up for the final escape.
And then comes the 10 km run!
The run is made up of two fast, flat loops, giving you a chance to really stretch the legs and chase down those final kilometres. With no major climbs to worry about, this is a course where you can find your rhythm, lock into your pace and empty the tank on the way to freedom.
Below you'll find the Strava route maps for the swim, bike and run, allowing you to explore each course in detail, including the route profile and elevation. We've also included GPX files for the bike and run courses so you can download them and load them onto your preferred device.
Know the course. Find your rhythm. Make your escape.
