915-14-May: The course has been modified and is now expected to include a 100 kilometer stage (Stage 4), followed a stage with nothing but dunes in what course director, Dave Annandale, calls, "the most beautiful landscape I have ever seen." Volunteers are undergoing training for RacingThePlanet: Namibia 2009, and competitors are beginning to trickle in throughout the day.
RACINGTHEPLANET is a unique category of rough country footraces that take place over seven days and some 250 kilometers in remote and culturally rich locations around the world. Competitors must carry all their own equipment and food, are only provided with water and a place in a tent each day but are supported by professional medical and operations teams.
