The Namib Race is a 250 kilometer (155 mile), six-stage ultramarathon that takes place in the beautiful Skeleton Coast National Park in the Namib Desert of Namibia.
It is part of RacingThePlanet’s 4 Deserts Ultramarathon Series - the most prestigious footrace series in the world, ranked by TIME Magazine as the “World’s Top Endurance Races” and profiled on BBC, ESPN, NatGeo, CNN, ABC, and NBC Sports.
Racers of all levels, ethnicities and ages, from 19 to 73, compete in this self-supported race, carrying their equipment and food on their backs; provided with only water and a place in a tent each night. They are supported by the world’s most skilled professionals, wilderness medical doctors, research fellows and volunteers.
Racers from 100 nations have competed over the last 20 years, including Afghanistan and The Faroe Islands, mingling around RacingThePlanet’s signature campfires with a shared commitment to adventure, authenticity and a refusal to obey limits.
The 4 Deserts Ultramarathon Series encompasses the Atacama Crossing (Chile), Gobi March (Mongolia), Namib Race (Namibia) and The Last Desert (Antarctica). There is also the RacingThePlanet Ultramarathon – a separate race which moves to a new location each year. RacingThePlanet: Lapland was in August 2022.
