RACE DAY 2 - VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS

"In the morning the light will come"

Day 2 was always going to be a huge challenge. Teams spent almost 16 hours out on LEG 3 and arrived at T3 tired and hungry. After a full day of non-stop racing and LEG 4 looming it was critical that Teams supported each other. The 198km MTB Leg was extremely challenging pushing teams both physically and mentally. The cold, wet, windy conditions made this leg one to remember. The fastest time on this leg has been 15 hours 30 mins.

Its the announcement you have all been waiting for!
It's official, Expedition Africa 2019 will be held on the beautiful island of Rodrigues. After many years of hosting EA on the African continent, we have decided to mix it up a little next year and move our beautiful race to a tropical island. Why? ... Because we can :-)

And.... because we pride ourselves in offering access to unique and stunning locations, exposure to warm and welcoming communities, the pursuit of Adventure and Family friendly racing...
The sport of Adventure Racing is forever evolving. The format is easily adaptable to the needs of the athletes, organisers, media, sponsors and supporters.
We have taken our years of experience hosting Africa's most prestigous Adventure race and presented it in a new exciting format that will be EA 2019 Rodrigues!

So pack your sunscreen and swimwear, bring your family and friends. This is an Expedition you do not want to miss! As always, limited spots available and based on the response we have had so far, we believe this event will sell out quickly.

Entries open on the 1st August 2018. Visit www.kinetic-events.co.za for race details and updates.

It's all about Island Adventure , It's all about Love.....

EA2018 : Race Day 4

"Climbing and then some more climbing"

A cold, wet and long night on the trek leg challenged many teams and emotions were high.

The beauty and splendour of the Cederberg is unique and course took teams through varied terrain.

Most of day 4 for the teams was a combination of cycle, trek cycle and at this stage it was essential that teams were well prepared for the elements.
