ZITOWAY 100KM OF NAMIBIA EN

Zitoway 100km on Namibia

A desert race, but in southern Africa, far from the geo-political problems affecting the north Africa countries: a totally safe race. Running in the desert doesn't necessarily means sleeping on the ground, eating ugly food, carrying heavy packs; there's another way to experience the desert with its fascinating features: the 100 km of Namib Desert.

It's the only 5 stars race, both for the environment of Namib Desert, the most beautiful and ancient desert in the world and for the accommodations in a fantastic 5 stars lodge.

A very demanding race, but with luxurious ‘Five Star’ accommodations that allow you to prepare and recover to face the 4 competing days, each one different from the other one.

You will run many kilometres through the oldest desert in the world, you will face a marathon the 3rd day, and the grand finale with the climb of the Crazy Dune, the highest dune in the world.
A great atmosphere, natural beauty, fascination, but also relaxation and comforts: these are the race program ingredients, that will make a vacation of sport, nature and... Adventure..
