The Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon is a self sufficient run over seven days, covering an approximate distance of convert 250 km mi 0 abbr on . The event takes place in the KalahariDesert in the proximity of the Augrabies Falls on the Orange River . The route traverses the Augrabies Falls National Park , private game parks including Khamkirri, Thorntree and Dabaras and many private farmlands. This contrasting environment with average day temperatures reaching in excess of 40 C and dropping to below 5 C at night presents a daunting challenge to the extreme athlete and determined adventurer alike. Known as the Big Daddy in the South African running circles, the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon is a prestigious event organised by Extreme Marathons, and has its place on the International Calendar of similar trail events. Participants run in the footsteps of the ancient Bushmen , through the fertile vineyards of the Orange River Valley, across rocky outcrops and into the desolate Great KalahariDesert. Course Although the event is advertised as a 250 km, race director Estienne Arndt changes the route every year, and the distance depends on the terrain. The route is only disclosed to the participants at registration, the day before the start of the event. Provisions The organisers supply the participants with overnight camps, water, professional medical backup, sports physios, check points at every 8 10 km, and an experienced crew who look after the participants needs.
