RacingThePlanet: Australia 2010

Description
RacingThePlanet is a unique category of rough country foot races that take place over seven days and 250 kilometers in remote and culturally rich locations around the world. Competitors are challenged both physically and mentally to go beyond their athletic frontiers. Racing in the most inhospitable climates and forbidding landscapes, they must carry all their own equipment and food, and are only provided with water and a place in a tent each night to rest. Currently the events consist of the world-renowned four Deserts series comprising the Gobi March in China, the Atacama Crossing in Chile, the Sahara Race in Egypt and The Last Desert in Antarctica, plus a fifth event - RacingThePlanet – that takes place in a new location each year. RacingThePlanet: Australia is the third edition of the race, which has previously been run in the remote rice paddy fields of Vietnam, and the canyons and deserts of Namibia.
