7 Tribes Endurance Race

South Sinai, Egypt

16-23 November 2010

It is not an Alpkit event but it definitely fell into that category of oooh that’s worth a heads up for someone.. The 7 Tribes Race is an exciting new endurance race in Egypt which will take place for the first time in November 2010.

- 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.

Check the 7 Tribes Race website for full details.
