    THANK YOU to the 122 competitors who arrived in Namibia after countless hours of training and preparations.  Every single one of you, whether you made it to the finish line or not, are heroes.

    The Namib Race could not have been possible without the support of a 100 individuals on ground, including the incredible course team (led by Thomas Bohne), the volunteer team (led by Tony Brammer), the medical team (led by Dr Dave Young) and the media team (Thiago Diz and Andre Gemmer), which assembled from around the world -- a HUGE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIRELESS WORK DURING THE WEEK.  Thank you also to Samantha Fanshawe, the Event Director, who oversaw every detail of the race and shines in everything she does.  A final TREMENDOUS thank you to our valuable local team, led by Francois Snyder and Oliver Ahrens, and the hard-working and professional vehicle drivers and camp staff. You are all the very best.

    Please join us for our next race: the Gobi March in Mongolia which begins on 23 June 2024.

    If you have feedback on the race coverage, please send it to us at [email protected] so we can contine to improve.
