The Ultimate Running adventure - 208Km Trail Footrace through the Namib Desert

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.

 
RAW Africa is part of the toughest footrace series - Ambition Events’ “Run Across The World Series”.

A RAW event is not a simple ultra; the challenge is set in harsh or demanding locations all over the world, over routes so grueling, so severe that every finisher can stand proud in the knowledge that it can be done. Whether you are enduring 50 degrees Celsius in a blazing desert, negotiating treacherous terrain in the Nordic highlands or being blasted by the freezing cold arctic winds, every stage, mile, even footstep will be a personal milestone.
