Start of the Salomon Sprint Adventure Race Series
Adventure racing is becoming a very popular sport in South Africa. I did one event last year and it was simply brilliant. I loved it. It’s like a triathlon with amazing scenery. What more could one ask for?
This year I’ll try to complete each event in the Salomon Sprint AR Series. The first event is scheduled for next weekend and will be held in Paris in the Freestate. Yes, we have our own Paris… How weird is that? The town is located in a picturesque area next to the Vaal river, which is one of the biggest rivers in the country.
The race starts with a 5km trail run, followed by a mountain biking section of 25km. There will also be a water section, which is a surprise. Let’s hope we get to do a bit of rafting! I went rafting there before and had heaps of fun. Not as cool as the Hazyview rafting, but still very much worth the effort.
I can’t wait!
