Cheers C >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Skyrun Showdown - (from www.ar.co.za) Pure Adventures are pleased to announce that we have some outstanding athletes and an international adventurer attending this years Salomon Skyrun in association with Thule. With Bruce Arnett (Mr Trail Running); Ryan "ALL TERRAIN" Sandes (we can't call him "the Sandman" because he rocks on deserts, jungles and mountains) and International Broadcaster, Author, Adventurer and World Record Holder Ian McKeever on the starting line this promises to be an epic. With the possibility of Iain Don-Wauchope (winner of the Southern Storm) and Dirk Cloete (winner of the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon) entering and former Skyrun winner Andrew Porter on the starting line; this years Skyrun could see the best of the best face off against each other in South Africa's own Alpine wonderland. (See below for some personal info on Bruce, Ryan and Ian.) YES we know 100km's is a long way and sounds daunting; YES it is tough; BUT believe me it is very achievable given the time that runners have to complete the course and will set the base for your total adventure and trail onslaught of 2010. For those doubting either their fitness or abilities or just want to come test the waters we have the shorter event for the 1st time this year (Day 1). For trail runners wanting to come and experience a true mountain experience with the safety and luxury of having sweepers, marshal's and medics on route as well as awesome and generous backing from elite sponsors Salomon and Thule this is the perfect opportunity to GET OUT THERE!!! Enter the Full Skyrun or enter the Skyrun Lite (60km). GPS units are allowed and route can be downloaded so navigation won't be a problem. Entries close 13th November 2009.
