About the race
The Karoo Million has flown from Cradock in the Eastern Cape, in the upper valley of the Great Fish River, since 2017. It aims to be one of the best winter one loft races in the country, and the name says it: R1 million in prize money across six races, based on 1,500 paid entries.

The 2026 season ran six races from Springfontein (260 km) up to the final from Bella-Bella, about 855 km, on 3 August 2026. On top of the main series there is a Barcelona Bakkie Race from Bella-Bella with a new bakkie for the winner, a charity race for community causes, and a Golden Ring race with a guaranteed R300,000.
The first three races are flown on consecutive weekends and then every second weekend, weather permitting.
