The ARWS Africa series is a collection of the best mid-distance adventure races in the Africa region. Event organisers set unique courses to test athletes over 100-250km of non-stop day and night racing in the disciplines of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, and navigation.
Participating teams earn points towards their ARWS regional ranking and the Wild@Heart AR race will be the 2025 Regional Championship.
The winning premier mixed team at the Championship race will be offered a free place at the Adventure Racing World Championship. (To qualify the winning team must also complete one other race in the series, at least 3 of the team must be from Africa, and a minium of two members of the team must go the World Championship.)
