Stage 4 begins the first of the two consecutive mountain Stages. Run on the locally famous Wilmot Line, this course tests the participants with a series of continuous hills on both ways of this out and back course. Being an evening Stage, the participants must also nervously and anxiously await the 6:00 p.m. start. Great weather once again greeted the participants, and some gutsy performances were witnessed.

Congratulations to all participants for completing this difficult Stage, and for now passing the 80km mark of this 160km challenge. Enjoy your rest day!
