Race Across The World (RAW Africa) : Sossusvlei, Namibia

The Ultimate Running adventure – 208Km Trail Footrace through the Namibian Desert

February 22 -26, 2009

5 Stages, 5 Days

RAW AFRICA is part of the toughest footrace series in the World: 5 days, 5 stages of high-endurance ultra running. The sand dunes of the Sossusvlei are often referred to as the highest in the world, some are 300 metres in height and are surely one of the most spectacular sights in Namibia. After heavy rain this vlei fills with water, a rare occurrence which happens once every 10 years, leaving behind a turquoise lake.

Competitors must carry their kit and food for 5 days in their backpacks during the ultimate African Adventure.

Only the toughest will make it to the finish!

RAW Africa is an official qualifier for the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc 2009. Finishers will be awarded 3 points.
