E88. Desert Ultra Special | Beating the Heat in Namibia


Listen Later

250kms over five days in the oldest desert on earth in temperatures of 50°c and higher. That's the challenge that faced the athletes who traveled with us out to Namibia just a few weeks ago for Desert Ultra 2023. The Desert Ultra is the longest race in the Global Race Series and this year's edition was the hottest race BTU has ever hosted.

In this episode, you'll hear from race director Adam Kimble about why he considers the Namib his second home, from our race winners Steve Williams and Ellie Milnes, and later in the episode an extremely inspiring interview with Andy Delderfield whose preparations for this race took place whilst he also underwent treatment for cancer. We know his journey inspires us and we're certain you will feel the same.

Keep your ears open for another shorter episode coming out very soon featuring BTU's very own Jenny Hall who was also out in Namibia finishing her first-ever ultra marathon!

Adam Kimble: 7:50

Ellie Milnes: 47:03

Steve Williams: 1:31:26

Andy DElderfield: 2:04:07
