Event Details
Home to the oldest desert and the largest dunes in the world Namibia has some of the most stunning and iconic desert landscape.
Special permission has been granted to the 4 Deserts Race Series to hold the Namib Race in the Skeleton Coast National Park. It is held around the Torra Bay area - about 300km / 196 miles north along the coast from the host town of Swakopmund.
The desert scenery includes, wide open red plains, scattered mountain outcrops, huge expanses of dramatic sand dunes, moon-like landscape, Atlantic waves crashing against the sandy desert shore-line, ship wrecks littering the coast line and a fascinating array of plants and animals, many of which are endemic to the area as a result of the age of the desert.
