Adventure Racing and Ultra Marathon in Namibia




Title:
Adventure Racing and Ultra Marathon in Namibia

Description:
NAMIBIA MARATHON. The Skeleton Coast is generally regarded as the most hostile stretch of coastline in the world where many a ship and its crew have foundered over the centuries, due to the unpredictable high seas and ever shifting sand banks hugging the Namib Desert shore line. Shipwrecked crew members who did make it to land alive never really stood a chance against the utter destructive barrenness of the desert that always managed to finally even the score. The marathon of 42km, this wil be run at the same time as the 120km ultra. All competitors will start together, but the marathon runners will finish at the 42km rest station.
