Adventure Race at the End of the World

by: editor

The Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race is a true expedition, taking teams of four through lands previously unknown to the human eye. Racers receive minimal assistance as they traverse through the pristine southern Patagonia by means of trekking, climbing and related rope work, kayaking, mountain biking, and backcountry navigation. They often cover hundreds of kilometres without seeing a soul. The route is kept secret. Maps and route books containing general, landmark-oriented instructions are supplied in a meeting with teams the night before the race commences. The course was unveiled on the eve of February 5, 2010 and the race is currently underway. Here are some photos from the scene, courtesy of Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race.
