OUR STORY
Taking part at Eco Challenge Borneo 2000 exposed us to the sport of Adventure racing. We fell in love with the sport and raced competitively for the next 10 years. In 2010 we started organising adventure races in South Africa. Kinetic Events was created organising adventure races under the brand name Expedition Africa.
