Sadly, I received word today that the 7 tribes race is definitely off. Apparently in order to cover the administrative costs of the race a minimum of 25 people had to sign up by this stage, but as of today they only have 11 people.
Having already put in quite a lot of training and telling everyone we knew i was going to do a multi-stage ultra for charity, the search was on for another race.
Lucinda has been a star and spent all week on the internet. After several dead ends she’s managed to find a 100 mile stage race in Himalayan India. The race starting on the October 23rd, includes the mount ‘everest marathon’ on the 3rd day.
This is quite a different challenge that the seven tribes, its further, it involves more hills and its at altitude, and its colder. Its also only 25 weeks away.
