Jungle Marathon |
|
The Jungle Marathon is a 200km unsupported stage race through the hilly terrain and the hot and humid conditions of the Amazon Jungle. Each competitor carries their own food and equipment on their back and receives 12 liters of water a day from the organizers. Distances covered each day range from 16 to 87 kilometers, depending on the nature of the stage.
