Namibia 24 Hour Ultra Marathon

Namibia 24 hour Ultra Marathon May 2011

 

Venue:         Namibia
Date:            23 May to 30 May 2011
Distance:     126 K
 
126km - 3 marathons - in 24 hours. This will be the 4th successful year of the Namibia 24 hour Ultra Marathon, which is rapidly becoming known as the ultimate endurance test for distance runners.
 
You will adventure race 126km in 24 hours across the vast expanse of desert, through the endless space of gravel plains framed by distant ridges and mountains, past dramatic upheavals of granite inselbergs and all under the clearest of blue skies during the day and a full moon during the night. Your marathon route will take you through some of Africa’s most remarkable scenery, past stunning remote desert mountains and through ancient meteor craters to the remote and inhospitable Skeleton Coast.  Follow in the footsteps of the elite Mens Fitness team and the BBC's Blue Peters Helen Skelton and take up the challenge of a lifetime.
 
The ultra marathoners will be completely self reliant from the start of the marathon til the end, and will need to carry their food and equipment on their backs. Water stations and medical tents will be provided at 21km intervals along the route. Temperatures are expected to be in the region of min 5ºc / max 36 ºc but could be more extreme.
