I know it’s a long way from the Dark Peak but we have received this email which may be of interest to the more adventurous:
Hi
The 7 Tribes Race is an exciting new desert endurance race in Egypt which will take place for the first time in November 2010. We hope it will be of interest to your club members and we’d be very grateful if you could make them aware of it.
· The race challenge is to run 110 kilometres of desert terrain in four days.
· The rewards are an unforgettable experience in the stunning scenery of the south Sinai Desert and the satisfaction of helping to provide wells and dams for water to save the desert gardens on which nomadic Bedouin people depend.
· The race ends at the ancient site of Nawamis where runners will join the 7 Tribes Festival, a gathering of the seven Bedouin tribes in South Sinai with camel racing, feasting and music.
· By entering before April 30th, runners can take advantage of an Early Bird special offer to save £250!
The race website is at www.7tribesrace.com and a leaflet about the race can be downloaded here.
Many thanks for your help.
