Uganda’s duo of Jordan Schleck and Mary Aleper emerged victorious in the men’s and women’s elite races, respectively, as the 2026 LOOP Safari Gravel Series concluded with its fourth and final leg in Nanyuki on Saturday.
The Nanyuki edition, which made its debut on the series calendar this year following a vote by cyclists through the Riders’ Choice initiative, saw competitors tackle the challenging 90-kilometre Simba Route in pursuit of top honours and valuable gravel national championship points.
Schleck, representing Canyon ATR, continued his impressive run in the series, clocking 3:57:44 to claim the men’s elite title. Stanley Ngugi of Black Mamba Development Squad finished second in 4:03:41, narrowly ahead of teammate Dan Kandagor, who completed the podium in 4:03:47.
