The 100 Toughest Races in the World

Jungle Marathon
Description
The Jungle Marathon, the first extreme footrace in the Brazilian Rain Forest. Our competitors will have the choice of two distances: 200km or 100km, which will be completed in stages throughout the week. The longer distance will include six stages and the shorter will include four. Runners will once again be self-sufficient. They will be required to carry their foods and provisions during the race and we will provide them with bottled water at designated checkpoints. Nights will be spent sleeping in hammocks at campsites along the shores of the Tapajos river. Competitors will be required to provide their own hammocks which should include a mosquito net and rain fly sheet.

Jungle Marathon 2008
On October the 7th I will be taking part in the 2008 Jungle Marathon which is a 130 mile race through the Amazon Jungle. It is a self sufficient race which means I will have to race with all of my food and bedding for the week. Being a bit greedy this means my rucksack is currently weighing in at about 13kg. In preparation I have run about 1000 miles round herefordshire, mostly very slowly and in a bad mood, had 140 cold baths, 60 saunas and bought an unfeasible amount of kit. I...

9 days to go
I've pretty much stopped training now having picked up a hamstring tear over the last month. I had been trying to ignore it but have only succeeded in worsening it. So instead I have continued to obsess endlessly about kit and details in an effort to find at least one part of this race I can...
1 shopping day left
One day left to the flight and I have pretty much got everything I need. The very shiny pyjamas have arrived and I have managed to get hold of the mandatory needles without (I hope) convincing Boots and the Dr's I am a drug addict. The final list of items are: bike...
In Brazil at Last!
Hello there, Zinnia here... reporting on behalf of Action Man! I have had an ecstatic email from Brazil where pre-race activities have included visiting the Statue of Christ in Rio and swimming in the Amazon..... all good fun befor the potential horror of the next few days! I will keep this blog updated as I hear but there are photos - one of K's back so far - and recent news of the race on the Jungle Marathon Website. Thank you for your interest, Zin x
Stages 1-4 in the jungle
I have been very lax about updating this blog but hopefully you have all been keeping abrest of news on the JM website. K rang briefly to reassure me that he wasn't one of those who had to leave the race through dehydration; he sounded very sane and I was much assured! Anyway, here's the news to date as posted on the website - Zin Stage 4 Report Stage 2 took its toll on most of the field but even more so two of the faster runners both of whom were evacuated from the race...
Finished
Well, I have been home for a few days now, I have just about stopped eating and drinking everything in sight and my feet have returned to normal. I currently weigh about 14stone (I lost 1/2 stone during the race), so am now looking forward to getting back on the beef and putting back on the 2 1/2...
