Expedition Africa 2020 Lesotho - 9 to 19 April 2020 The planning and preparation for the 10th Edition of Expedition Africa 2020 in Lesotho, “Kingdom in the Sky”, is well underway. Conversations around the course, entries and location have already started, whilst the route scouting, land permissions and government meetings have been mostly completed. In less than 5 months teams will be lining up at the start line for an expedition race that is unparalleled in landscape contrasts and cultural diversity. 46 teams have already entered, consisting of 21 International teams and 25 South African teams. A unique aspect is the range in ages of this contestants, with the youngest team member at just 15 years old whereas the oldest is 60 years old. There are also two family teams that have entered. One team consists of parents, son and daughter and the other is a father and his three sons. The variety, vastness and location of this adventure race has attracted a good balance of the regular participants as well as some new teams. Some of the most experienced adventure racers currently on the ARWS circuit have signed up for what promises to be a challenging course.

Heidi and Stephan Muller of Kinetic Events and Expedition Africa would like to send out their heartfelt love and thanks to their adventure racing family, and sincere condolences to friends and family of the enthusiastic and talented adventure racer Sabelo Sibeko from Swaziland, and Canadians Melissa and Brendan Perrott with their three year old son Colton and five year old daughter Evi, (who would have turned six on Sunday) who tragically lost their lives in a road accident on the R74 between Harrismith and Qwaqwa, on Sunday morning on their way home after attending the beautiful race in the Drakensburg, Expedition Africa 120km.
