Expedition Africa; Trials & Tribulations

Team Merrell successfully defended their Expedition Africa adventure racing title with a hugely impressive win, by finishing nearly 12 hours ahead of their nearest rivals, Team Red Ants. After 65 hours of racing – and just three hours sleep -Team Merrell crossed the finish line at race headquarters in Port Alfred at 11:49 p.m. on Wednesday 9 May. An amazing feat considering that the organisers had predicted it would take the winning team approximately three days to complete the course.
