The Merrell Transkei Tuff presented by Out the Green Box, takes place each year along the Wild Coast of South Africa, in a region called the Transkei. A unique part of South Africa that lives up to its WILD reputation. Drenched in folk-lore and dotted with 100's of shipwrecks, there is just no end to the tales that come from this region.

All this is exactly why this is "home" to the Merrell Transkei Tuff . Where one can seek adventures around every rocky outcrop, inhabited bay and endless rolling green hills that plunge into the deep turbulent seas... this is where teams find out if they are Transkei Tuff.

This year, Ocean View Hotel will feature as the new race village for the Merrell Transkei Tuff and features on the inaugural Adventure Racing World Series Regional Series calendar!  The Merrell Transkei Tuff Race, will feature on the ARWS - Africa Series calender, where teams can earn points and potentially win an entry into the Adventure Racing World Champs.

The winner from the Merrell Transkei Tuff presented by Out the Green Box will receive an entry into the ARWS - Africa Finale in November this year.
