"There is only one word for the Namibian Desert Challenge 2010 – MARVELLOUS!  This is without doubt a tough event, competitors had everything thrown at them from mountains, canyons, wading up to our waists in water, climbing the 2nd highest dune in the world and everything else in between all in temperatures of 40 degrees plus.  

To add to the stunning scenery there was an abundance of wildlife from Gemsbok, springbok, jackals and of course Ostrich, some of them got extremely close – it was like my own running safari!

I would highly recommend this event, the organisation was great, the crew worked hard and looked after us well and the course was spectacular – AND just to get you to the finish line quicker there will be a cold beer waiting for you! (or in my case wine!!!)  As for the post race party.......you will just have to come to the race to find out how amazingly special it was.

 "It was down to you guys that got me through the challenge and so far the pinnacle of my running career, the encouragement gave me the belief that i could get through all 5 days after having a less than good 1st day.

The comraderie generated around the camp was truly an experience and never to be forgotten, and a big thankyou must go to the good Doctor who had the unpleasant duty of repairing my feet for 3 days.

I am certain the NDC will grow in stature.I will never forget Namibia and its wild beauty and nor will my feet which are still in the process of being repaired, keep up the good work.

"Thank YOU for putting on this amazing race!  I will cherish the memories forever!  We all had a fantastic time and look forward to racing with your organization in the future!"
