“The Original”, where NFNF all started.
This annual adventure race has become a must do on the calendar, no matter where it is - it is the greatest adventure!
Kam’Bati River Resort, nestled below the mighty Riviersonderend Mountains and alongside the ever-present Riviersonderend River, is the perfect adventure venue. Additionally, especially considering it is a “long weekend”, it is the perfect spot for families with kids and AR racers keen on an awesome weekend away.
As always, iconic to our races are the route choices, tricky terrain that leaves every participant challenged, yet inspired for more. We promise to show you a beautiful part of the Western Cape with beautiful towering peaks, rivers and gravel roads.
