Now in its third edition, Race the Wild Coast (RTWC) has rapidly become known as one of the toughest horse races on the planet.<\/p>\n

This new breed of long-distance adventure horse racing is set amid the breath taking scenery of the South African East Coast. Over the course of five days a host of experienced international riders, each riding three horses in the course of the race, will compete for victory over 350km of rugged paradise from Port Edward to Kei Mouth. RTWC blends the spirit of the frontiersman and the modern horseback adventurer; a test of endurance, horsemanship, survival and navigational skills.<\/p>\n

According to race owner Barry Armitage, the challenge should not be undertaken lightly. \u201cBeing physically fit is essential. There are some brutal hills on this ride and some of the river crossings are daunting, so being confident in water is a must,\u201d he says. With around six major rivers that require deep-water swims, and the expectation of rain, conditions will test riders\u2019 skills each step of the way.<\/p>\n
