Windhoek Light Fish River Canyon Ultra

The Fish River Challenge (the largest Canyon in Africa) is a non-stop self-supporting race whereby runners will be expected to complete the course in 24 hours. Water will be supplied at designated checkpoints that will also serve to monitor progress of the various athletes and provide updates to the organizers. 

The race commence at the top of the world famous Fish River Canyon where the race village for the first evening will be positioned on the edge with magnificent views. From there, competitors follow animal tracks and paths heading cross-country until they reach the point where they descend into the Canyon. Once down in the Canyon, they follow the river, with an occasional detour across wide meandering bends in the river, and finish at the wonderfully soothing hot springs resort of Ai-Ais.
