06 ~16 October 2011
Every participant that takes part in the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme
Marathon 2009 will stand a chance to win an entry to Spain's premier
multi-stage trail run. Al Andalus Ultra Trail is a very tough 5
day, 5 stage race of around 250km. The course, described below, will
provide a very demanding test not just for your legs but for your
character and determination. Temperatures will be high ( 35-45C ),
climbs numerous and long and the trails are scenic and demanding. Over
90% is off-road, mountain and desert tracks with the majority of tarmac
in the final kilometers when you are approaching the stage village
finishes. The race will be semi-supported so you can travel with the
minimum specified and enjoy the journey. Unlike other extreme
races, where you travel in remote areas and have to be self-sufficient,
this race takes you on a " tour " via local villages. The terrain
between them is tough but each stage ends in a village where, once you
have eaten your " carried meal " you are free to visit, ( and eat /
drink more if you want too ). Website:
