25km Adventure Race

Adventure Racing is a fun concept of combining the following sport disciplines: mountain biking, running/trekking, kayaking

and navigation. In this shorter version of adventure racing, you only need to be able to read a printed Google Map to orienteer yourself from point to point. Teams of 2 members will take on this race together.

Kinetic Events and Addicted2Adventure.co.za have joined hands when it comes to the organisation of the 25km Adventure Races in South Africa which has been organised by the former for many years.

Beginners, more advanced athletes and the hard core racers out there are all welcome!

Who’s joining us?

Race Distance

• The race will cover approximately 25 km’s
• Duration between 2 and 4 hours
• Approx. 18 km cycling and 6 km running/trekking and 1km kayaking

Race Disciplines

• Mountain biking – Teams should be prepared for a range of riding including single track, steep hills, gravel roads and sealed roads
• Trekking – Will involve traveling by foot through rugged terrain
• Kayaking – Kayaking will be on a dam / flat water. Kayaks and paddles will be provided by race organizers. Fluid Synergy kayaks will be used. These kayaks are very stable and suitable for novices. Teams who are unsure about their swimming ability should bring their own life jackets
• Orienteering – Basic orienteering is an extremely important part of the race. The course is not marked and teams are required to navigate using the map. If you can read a street map you will be fine
