Wool in Action

“The Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon is a self-sufficiency run held over six legs in seven days with set distances for each day, ranging from 28km to 75km. Participants must carry all their supplies, clothes and compulsory safety/survival equipment for the duration of the event. Overnight shelter in camps, and water, which is strictly controlled and distributed during the race, is supplied. The event goes way beyond merely covering 250 kilometers in extreme conditions; it is a challenge to get past what normal people would regard as crazy, and achieve one’s personal goals.”

We follow Mr Gusha and Mr Inkunzi while they battle sand and heat in Wool.
Cape Wools SA is proud to sponsor Cobus and Lumko to take part in this grueling event, held from the 24th till the 30th of October. You can follow their journey on https://www.facebook.com/events/488453244648993/

“The route details are only given to the participants on the day of registration, so there is no unfair advantage in planning.  The route is marked throughout the course, with temperatures varying from mid 40 degrees Celsius during the day to single figures in the evenings.”
