Are you a MultiStage Runner or enthusiast?
The races have been called the Tour de France of running. The events attract top athletes and professional marathoners to CEOs and high-achieving professionals of all ages, from all over the world.
A typical race format is 150miles over 6 stages. Most races require self-sufficiency. You carry everything you need to survive, all your gear and food in your pack. Only water and a place in a tent are provided. Some races simply require carrying a hydration pack, which leads to different race strategies and a much faster race.
For me, this is one of the ultimate endurance sports. The events inspire people, highlight our natural world and bring cultures together. I love peoples’ stories, the tough and beautiful terrain, peacefulness and pure fun. I spent a couple of years creating similar athletic endeavours across Nepal for myself and others.
The MultiStage events now bring me into contact with some incredible people and athletes around the world. Many of us know the Marathon Des Sables or RTP series but there are several global series out there. I hope to get to some of the most prestigious and intriguing races in 2007/8 and make over 1.5 million foot steps in races alone. You too?
