2014 Trans Agulhas Challenge

26/12/2014

If you're looking for a bit of excitement on the beach, Day 1, Stage 1 of the 2014 Trans Agulhas Challenge (billed as "The World's Toughest Inflatable Boat Challenge") is due to hit Glentana at about 10:44 a.m. on Dec 28th, before reaching Great Brak River ariound 10:50 a.m.

You can read more about the event in this Mossel Bay Advertiser article (though it seems they have the dates wrong) - or check out the blog posts from last year's event.

Feel the Need for Speed (but from a Safe Distance)?

Now, admittedly, not everyone is into running or cycling - but that doesn't mean you have to miss out on the fun if you're into a bit of adrenaline and speed is your thing. Certainly not with the Trans Agulhas Challenge making a pitstop at the Great Brak beach on Dec 28th (stage 1 of the multi-stage event).

Check out the slide show below for an idea of what to expect!

Racers who take part in what is billed "the world's toughest inflatable boat challenge" leave Hobie Beach at Plettenberg Bay at 8:00 a.m., heading up to Nature's Valley before doubling back down the coast a series of checkpoints along the way. The 7th, 8th and 9th checkpoints are at Glentana, Great Brak and Little Brak, respectively, before the final stop for the day at Mossel Bay's Santos Beach.

If that's something that sounds like fun to watch (bring your camera and earplugs...), then head on over to the PSPG Trans Agulhas Challenge website - or better yet, the event's official website - for more info and spectacular photos. More info is also available in the George Herald.
