......is almost upon us
The countdown has started with 3 weeks to go before the biggest and longest Adventure race on the South African calendar.
42 teams, half of which have travelled from various countries throughout the world, should start arriving in East London from Wednesday 6 August for registration, pre-race skills testing, race planning and to finalise logistics.
Last night Hano Otto, race director, emailed through a newsletter that gave details as to what we can expect and there are a couple of mammoth legs.
The race will consist of 16 legs with a total minimum distance of 567 km's split into the following disciplines...
Trail running: 1 Leg : 10km
Trekking: 5 legs : 159km - longest leg 70km
MTB: 7 legs : 334km - longest leg 93km
Paddling: 3 legs : 64km - longest leg 40km
Ropework: 2 x Abseils & 1 x Ascend
The race is totally unsupported with Race staff dropping off each of our race crates at check-points equally split amongst the race distance.
We will be carrying a Sportstrack GPS device for the duration so our progress can be monitored via their website at http://www.sportstrack.net
