Much of the Namib Race is enabled and supported by our wonderful local team - RacingThePlanet employs approximately 40 local people from the race area who help set up the camp sites, work as drivers and provide help for the racers at checkpoints. Many of these people have challenging lives as they live under the poverty line in one of the poorest areas of Swakopmund called DRC. DRC is just 4 kilometers from the centre of Swakopmund and if you are staying in one of the many hotels of this swank town, you would not know that there are thousands of people living without electricity and proper housing nearby.
This year RacingThePlanet joins the
Sandwich Tour for the second time. After the race the participants will have an opportunity to join one of our local staff, Clifton, for the tour that takes place on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. If you wish to support Clifton’s valuable work and sponsor the weekly lunches, you can donate through this page.
A donation of US$60 USD will buy lunch for nearly 100 children. 100% of money donated will go to the children.
