As a team we have been using the Agility Peak 4 shoes for the past month training for a 500km adventure race across Lesotho. For Jess, Lance, John, and myself this was the first time using Merrell shoes. There was natural trepidation amongst us trying new shoes so close to a big race. We made a big effort to put the Agility Peak 4’s to the test, taking them into the Cape and Drakensberg mountains, along beaches and forest trails, and even on some tar. Now as we head to Lesotho for the start of our adventure race the consensus is we have a shoe that is up for the job.

Team Merrell Songlines took just over 26 hours to take line honours at the first race of the Africa Adventure Race World Series on 3rd February.
Race director, Adrian Saffy set the 36hr race competitors a 200km course starting and finishing in the mountain town of Rhodes, high up in the Maluti mountains of the Eastern Cape province.
“We knew the race would be a good physical test given the area’s altitude and mountainous terrain, and we weren’t wrong. The first leg really set the tone with a 30km, 1000m mountain bike climb up the infamous Naudes Nek Pass.” said Kelvin Trautman.
