Race is on!!!

Dr Luis Carneiro(neuro surgeon) a member of the Paju team was the first one to arrive at the Municipal Hospital to see the victms of the car crashing. No serious damages is likely to be the outcome. The victims are as injured as the tree the car hit. Only a part of the the bark was removed.

It is almost certain that the five involved in the accidenmt will be ready for the party on the 17th.

No worries dudes!! Race is on!!! actualkly today is the longest stage, more sh.. will hit the fan.

Accidents happen...

2009-10-15T10:33:00.000-07:00

...particularly during the Jungle Marathon, which is clearly an acccident machine.
First stage two commas were resolved, from four evacuations....a few hours ago we had a car crashing, photos may think it was bad but the truth is that no serious injure came out of that.

Today 's stage is the longest one and more people may come to bite the dust!

Danny is done it!!

The Regional Hospital in Santarem, is one of the most modern hospital in the country. Unfortunatly, when we evacuated the athlets over to Santarem it was on strike. The good news is that Dr. Antonio and his great team of nurses at the Municipal Hospital was able to help and yesterday one of our mates left the hospital and only one of them is still in the intensive care. This npix was taken yesterday at about 3pm. When he finally could communicate. Shortly after that all tubes had been removed, except for the Oxygen mask. Late in the aftyernoon he wanted to go to the loo alone, of course the nurses did not allowed it.

He may leave the I.C.U. late today. Meanwhile Ryan and Sal lead the race.

Jungle Marathon 2009

2009-09-28T06:05:00.000-07:00

On October 8th this year, an international field of competitors will once again begin their journey at the picturesque resort of Alter-do-Chão, and sail up the Tapajos River, The most beautiful Amazon River’s tributary, to the tiny Hamlet of Itapuama. Here they Will spend two days at Jungle Marathon base camp, aclimatising and learning how to handle many of the obstacles they may encounter in the Amazon Jungle, in preparation for the start of the 2009 edition of Jungle Marathon.

Jungle Marathon is a 200 Km footrace, run in stages. The race is self-sufficient meaning that competitors carry all their own food and equipment for the week and an efficient local and international team provide comprehensive logistic support.

Runners pass by check points every 5Km- 7Km where they are resupplied with bottled water and they can be monitored by the medical team. Nights are spent sleeping in hammocks in pre-determined campsites, generally on the crystalline-sand beaches along the Tapajos River with the backdrop of the deep jungle behind them.
The stages vary in length from 16Km to 85Km. The longest of the stages takes competitors two days to complete so they continue running through the night.

The race itself is held in the spectacular Tapajos National Forest, a 600 thousand protected area in the Amazon Rainforest, which lies in the Brazilian state of Pará, in North West Brazil.

Here the competitors will interact with the people hospitality and outstanding rainforest biodiversity.
This year up to 130 runners Will take part in the race, coming from various parts of Brazil and from countries as far reaching as Australia, South Africa, USA, Germany, Austria, France, England, Scotland, Canada, China and Denmark. Several are runners who failed to make to the finish on the previous year, but for many, it is the beginning of an incredible experience, combining the challenge of sport with the thrill of an eco-adventure.

Jungle Marathon 2009 takes place from October 7th-18th. For further information please contact our media Co-ordinator Gil Serique on:

Hi Gil

Thank you for the message!

Yeah I have always wanted to go to Brazil so I am very excited to be coming to participate in the JM.

This is the first time I am coming to Brazil and South America to do a race.

The obstacles I will have to deal with in the JM is the heat and humidity, I have raced in dry heat but when it is humid it is 10 times harder. I am also a bit scared of all the Jungle animals :) I am very scared of snakes and I heard there are some massive rodents!!

A brief Q & A will give you some insight into who, what where and when ...

1. Who or what is your inspiration in life ?

There are a couple of people that inspire me; for one, Nelson Mandela - it is incredible how forgiving he was after being imprisoned for over a quarter of his life. He has changed so many peoples lives for the better and is probably the most loved and respected person in the world. I think the world could do with a few more Mandela’s !!
My parents – for all the support and sacrifices they have made for me during the years. I would not be where I am now with out them.
And my grandfather for his approach to life was very similar to mine, make the most of everything in life and live every day as if it were your last.

2. What goes through your mind when you go for 70km training runs or when you were running in the Gobi desert ?

A lot!! What am I doing?? Haha..

I try and break the run down into smaller 5-10km pieces and use every 5-10km section as a goal to achieve. This helps as if you try and do a 70km run with out breaking the race up it is very difficult. When you are having a low or bad patch during a race / run and you have broken it down into sections then when you start the new section it feels like you are starting fresh again.
I tell myself to keep going and focus on the positives of the run / race I.e. surroundings etc..

3. What preparations do you need to make physically and emotionally for these ultra marathons?

I think the race is probably 55% mental and 45% physical.

Preparing for a race like this can physically drain you and take it out of you. Training for 18-25 hours is very demanding on your body and you need a lot of sleep to recover. After my long runs on the weekend I just sit in front of the TV and vegetate. But it also depends on what your goals are as if you are just aiming to finish you can probably get away with a lot less training. I believe what you put into something is what you get out; therefore, all the hard training definitely does pay off during the race.
I think you need mentally tough or maybe just stupid during longer runs / multi day races as your body tells you to stop and your mind needs to tell yourself just keep going. I enjoy this aspect of the race as it is interesting to see how far you can push yourself.

4. What supplements do you take ?

I take daily multi vitamin tablets to keep my energy and immunity levels up which also prevents me from getting sick. After most runs I use a product from Hammer Nutrition called Recoverite which helps put back everything into my body which I lost during the run. I also use Whey Protein from Hammer Nutrition which helps my muscles repair themselves after a long run. Often after a long run or a hard week of training my legs etc are sore so I use a Buchu natural anti inflammatory, which is made by Buchu Life / Cape Kingdom, to reduce the inflammation and get me back feeling good again.

5. What do you eat for breakfast before you go for a long run and what do you eat during the run ?

I normally eat a bowl of Pronutro (high in protein and vitamins) before a long run and drink a cup of coffee. During my Long runs I use Perpetuem (product from Hammer nutrition) which has got all the necessary carbs, sugars, proteins etc to keep me going for up to 12hours without eating. I mix it into a paste and drink it with water. I also use Endurolytes (Hammer nutrition) tablets during a long run which put back all the electrolytes etc I loose while running and prevents cramping.

6. Do you stop to take breaks in the multi day multi stage races, or is it better to physically push through and keep going?

I try and keep going as when you stop your body starts to get stiff and you become lazy and it is really hard to get going again. During the Gobi race we had to stop at the check points to get water but this was not for more than 30 seconds. During a multi stage event I think the longer you spend on the coarse during a stage the harder it gets as you have less time to recover for the next stage.

7. Did you get to speak to your family at all during the Gobi run?

No - you are not allowed cell phones but I could receive messages of support.

8. How long in advance do you start training for an event like the Gobi and Sahara?

I started training 5-6 months before the Gobi Desert race as I had never done a multi day event or a race over 42m and therefore had to get my legs used to that sort of distance (250km). For Sahara I started training properly 3 months before the race as train really hard for the first 2 months and then taper down and take it easy for the last month (took month before Gobi easy as well). I think it is better to be under trained than over trained for an event like his as if you go into it feeling mentally and physically tired you will really battle. You need to be feeling physically and mentally fresh as this race really takes it out of you. After a long race like this I would recommend taking it easy for a month after. I did not do this after Gobi which was a mistake. So I will be taking it easy for a few weeks after Sahara.
9. What does your average training programme look like ?

I normally train in a 3-4 week cycle - starts off with an easy week which builds up to my difficult week.

Average weekly programme for Sahara:
Monday – Gym in evening and Sauna after
Tuesday – Run for 15 to 25km including running in environmental chamber (1hour on road + 40min to hour in chamber)
Wednesday – Run 2 to 3 hours on trails/mountain (with back pack etc)
Thursday - Run for 15 to 25km including running in environmental chamber (1hour on road + 40min to hour in chamber)
Friday – Gym
Saturday – 3 to 9hour run on trails /mountains (with pack etc)
Sunday – 3 to 5hour run on trails /mountains (with pack etc) + Gym and sauna

I also try and run at least two “big weekends” where I run 4 consecutive long runs in a row (Friday – Monday). Gym is also important as I makes your muscles stronger and prevents injuries.

10. Do you train with anyone or is it better to train on your own ?

I try and mix it up – sometimes I will run with someone for the start of my run and then finish off on my own. I also enjoy putting my I- pod on and just cruising on my own mission -just running wherever with no planned route. It is an awesome way of un winding when I am stressed out and just zoning out from reality. I think I push myself harder when I am on my own, but enjoy running with other people as time seems to go a lot quicker on a long run which can drag on for ever when you on your own and your legs don’t want to go any longer.

11. besides running what do you enjoy doing ?

Hanging out with friends and having a good time, a good party, chilling on the beach, surfing and surf skiing, mountain biking, just been outdoors and enjoying living in Cape Town, watching sport live or on TV and traveling

12. what time do you go to bed every evening ?

I think it is important to try get as much rest as possible to let my body recover when I am training hard, therefore I normally go to bed at about 9-10 pm. I get up quite early (5pm) as I get to work at 6:45 -7am and leave at 4pm to train.

13. Are you allowed to eat or drink unhealthily or will that affect your training ?

I try and eat relatively healthily but I do not follow a specific diet. I eat just about all foods and definitely enjoy beer and a few tequilas. I think it is important to eat and drink healthily but you also need to enjoy life. I read about this tribe in Mexico that are nomads and run about 50km a day from village to village in leather sandals. Apparently they drink tequila during their runs to hydrate so maybe I should try that during he Sahara race.. Jokes I would not make it past the first few km’s. The above is a true story that was in Mens Health I think.

14. Do you have a coach or trainer as such who helps you with things to focus on in your training ?

Ian Waddle has been giving me monthly programs which has helped a lot as it gives me a set routine to follow. I tend to over do things so his programs have helped me to train hard but then also to back off and have easy weeks to recover and come back stronger.

Chris Alan my physiotherapist who I go to once a week also helps a lot with my training as he is good at picking up small niggles which can become serious and gives me the strengthening exercises etc to prevent injuries. He is also a runner which makes a big difference as when you go to most physios with an injury they tell you to stop running but with Chris I think your leg would need to be broken before he would tell you not too run, even then he might still let you run. But it seems to work and he has kept me on the trails and roads with out any serious injuries this year (touch wood).

15. what do you do to relax ?

I used to enjoy a social life!! This year I think the only chance I get to relax is when I am sleeping.
I normally relax by: Hanging out with my friends ; Listening to music, watching movies or sport and spending time on Llandudno beach in summer – Surfing etc.
:)

16. What races are you focusing on for the next 2 years ?

This is a list of major races I want to do, I also do a number of local races for training etc.

250km self supporting : Sahara Desert October 2008 (www.4deserts.com)
250 km self supporting :Namibia May 2009 (www.4deserts.com)
Cape Odyssey October 2009 (206km stage race not self supporting) or Trans 333km in Sahara desert (non stop race not self supporting)
250km self supporting Atacama Desert race in Chile (www.4deserts.com)
250km self supporting Last Desert race in Antarctica (www.4deserts.com)
Other races I would like to do are the Bad Water Ultra Marathon in Death Valley USA, Marathon Des Saables and the Grand Raid in Reunion.

17. Once you have completed a multi stage multi day race do you follow a special cool down exercise programme or simply stop exercising for a certain period of time ?

I normally do some stretching, drink some Recoverite (recovery drink from Hammer Nutrition), put on recovery tights and go and lie down to get off my feet and give my legs a chance to recover.

18. What do your friends and family think of the fact that you won the Gobi ?

My family and friends were super stoked and proud I won as I do not think they expected it. I think they thought I was going to crash and burn after going out so hard on the first stage. I think a lot of my friends think I am mad and have lost the plot with all the training I do.

Jungle adventure unforgettable
Wasps, tree spikes, and humidity took their toll on a local father of two.
Troy Landreville, Langley Advance
Published: Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Wasps dug their stingers into the exposed parts of Roy Chen-Campbell's flesh.

"These wasps don't just [sting] you once; they hit you like a dart," he recalled. "It felt like big rain drops falling on my head."

Pain seized his body, pulling an invisible shroud over his eyes. An hour-and-a-half after the attack, the 47-year-old father of two lay unconscious on a log in the Amazon jungle.

Email to a friend

Font:****The joyous feelings from days earlier, when he outfitted grateful Brazilian villagers with dozens of used running shoes - 90 per cent of which were donated by his running club from Peninsula Runners in Walnut Grove - seemed a lifetime ago.

Chen-Campbell related an expression: if you stay still in the Amazon jungle, the jungle will eat you. If the wasps or mosquitos won't get you, a swarm of other deadly creatures, from poisonous scorpions to big cats, more than likely will.

He was about two kilometres away from completing day two of the Jungle Marathon, a week-long extreme footrace in the state of Para, Brazil, when gripping a palm tree and, he disturbed a wasp nest about two and a half feet long by a foot wide.

Wasps in the Amazon are a frightful sight. Each the size of a thumb, they are among the area's fiercest creatures.

Initially, Chen-Campbell heard the humming.

Panicked, he leaped into the swamp to get away, but sunk to his knees. He couldn't get his legs free. Chen-Campbell was a prone target. Hundreds of wasps converged on him. He took the first two stings to the his neck. Several more wasps stung the top of his head. He threw off his pack to lighten the load, but couldn't extricate himself quickly enough. His back, now exposed, took close to a dozen more stings.

When he finally pulled himself free, Chen-Campbell ran for his sinking pack. As he turned his body to yank it free, the pack didn't move.

In the process, Chen-Campbell wrenched his neck - a neck already wired and fused together, the aftermath of a rugby injury he suffered more than two decades earlier.

"It felt like a hot poker was driven into my neck," Chen-Campbell said.

The pain caused him to pass out. When he woke up, Chen-Campbell received help from a member of the military who had been hired to patrol the route and watch for participants in distress.

"As I stood up, I had no feeling in my left foot," Chen-Campbell said. "I looked down, and there was a tarantula, dead, right beside me. I don't know if I rolled on top of it, or what."

Chen-Campbell took an IV at the next checkpoint, and because he accepted help, his race was over. On heavy medication to numb the excruciating pain in his neck, Chen-Campbell spent a delirious night writhing on a bed, screaming in agony.

He remembers nothing of that night.

- - -

Chen-Campbell and pain are familiar bedfellows - at 20, his promising professional rugby career came to an abrupt end when he was tackled by three players, breaking his neck in three places. Chen-Campbell spent nearly two years in either traction or wearing a halo attached to his skull for a neck brace. He was told, many times, by surgeons that he would never run again, or, at best, walk with a limp.

Darel from Canada is very likely to cross the finish line this year, despite the fact that struggled hard to finish the 92k like everyone else.

href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nhLd8MUAavo/SPOVP7dMtCI/AAAAAAAACDY/759L74Qm77Q/s1600-h/aa.JPG">

It is almost certain that Peer will cross the line again, just like last year.

Kids Marathon

2008-10-13T09:23:00.000-07:00

I think the Kids jm is a great opportunity to get the kids from diferent communities 2gether and having them interact, something i never had the chance to do when I was living at Surucua, the community in which I was born. That will guarantee stronger friendship bonds making them ready to take decisions in the future that will benefit all.

brothers in race

2008-10-13T09:18:00.000-07:00

Jacqueline Terto and Marcio are the favourites for this year edition. They come from Rio de Janeiro and both have participated in one of the previous editions of jm. Marcio spotted a jaguar on a tree and also was followed at good distance by a another one.

2008-10-13T06:03:00.000-07:00

Dr Kyle and Ben together and others jm team during my dear Rob Bennet evacuation.
We were greatly assisted by the doctors in Santarem on arrival after a 3 hour jouney and having faced a quite terrible Amazon windstorm.
Rob and two other of his personal friends who followed the operation will certainly return next year to cross the finish line of the grestest eco adventure in the planet.

Actually we evacuated Jeremy Nelson from Scotland as well. After being assisted by local doctors he felt better and since yesterday's stage was cancelled he had a chance to continue the race in a much slower pace.

I am with Rob at the hospital, since he is ok i shalll return to the playground to play with the others competitors and staff. I hope he stays for the party on the 16th which is unlikely.

I am so happy everything is ok with him, so everyone else!!!

JM 2008

2008-10-12T10:00:00.000-07:00

Hi all,

this year Jungle Marathon is better then never. The kids marathon was awesome!!! two athlets have spotted jaguars so far, two otherS had to given up, actually six at this point. We had to cancel the day's stage, which means Jeremy has a chance to go back and run, but Robert may not return he finds himself sick at a hospital, but i am quite sure and so the docters that he will get ok. HE IS OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is certainly the greatest eco adventure on earth!!!!

He was in many other competetions after getting his neck in place by British doctors, fortunately his mind left intact. He is quite ready for the Jungle Marathon, which requires the use of both brain&body. He always has a warm greeting to everyone he sees, that was time on the pix

As far as I know she had no problem to reach the finish line last year, she is better shaped then never. Her previous top adventures outside two editions of Jungle Marathon include Marathon Des Sable, Climbed the Aconcagua and Huayna Potosi. Her next adventure will be cycling from Sidney to England. She is kindly sponsored by Skins (www.skins.net). GOOD LUCK MATE!!

Maratona da Selva 2008

Vários atletas já se encontram em Alter do Chão para a Maratona da Selva 2008, que começa dia 10 de Outubro.
Participantes locais estão em forma e entusiasmados para o evento, enquanto os dos outros países também preparados fisicamente aclimatam-se e preparam-se mentalmente para a maratona.
Cada corredor terá que carregar seu próprio alimento e uma lista de
itens compulsórios como: Lanterna, baterias extras, garrafa de
2.5litros, bússola, comprimidos purificadores de água...
Duzentos quilômetros de pântanos, subidas íngremes, travessias de
cordas, rios e igarapés, medo de onça e muitas surpresas apimentam as seis
etapas da competição.
Uma das etapas das etapas tem 90Km, o que significa que uma parte terá que ser
percorrida a noite. Check-points são localizados a cada 8km, onde os
atletas são monitorados por uma equipe médica e abastecidos com água.
O parque de diversão são é>> - O parque de diversão é os 600 mil hectares da Floresta
Nacional do Tapajós, uma das duas unidades de conservação federal localizadas no Rio Tapajós. Aproximadamente 1.400 famílias divididas em 29 comunidades vivem de forma tradicional.
"O apoio e a participação dos comunitários na realização da Maratona da
Selva são essenciais". Diz Shirley Thompson, a diretora da prova. A linha de largada estará na comunidade de Itapuama, no Município de Aveiro e a chegada no balneário de Alter do Chão, onde os vitoriosos serão recebidos festivamente pela população e paramédicos.
Uma coisa comum entre os participantes sobre a maratona, é ter a possibilidade de visitar a floresta Amazônica e cruzar a linha de chegada da maior eco-aventura do planeta.

Most athlets keep in touch often with their families and friends. It is always good to let everybody know that one is still breathing.

A quite pleasant day!!!

2008-10-02T17:05:00.000-07:00

We have had different pleasure and positiveness as we visit our partners in offices and at Jungle Marathon HQ. Seeing people in the streets and shops talking about the event is really nice too. This morning I saw again Darrel again and met Roy, Who lives in Canada Like Darrel, but was conceived in Jamaica and lived in the UK and New york, and copmpeted in Hawai where he was born two..can you be born in two places? It seems that Roy was born twice in each place he lived. Great man. Heldon, the most favourite, was there too, and so Yossef. An unforgetable encounter.

Jungle Marathon is contributing to a kitesurf instructions session to be held at Pajussara Beach. The Tapajos River is the undoubtly the most beautiful river in the world. It is just a perfect site for windsurfing and kiting.Wind howls during most months reaching 30kts. One can windsurd at the meeting of the waters and spot PINK DOLPHINS!!!!
It will not take long to have a world-wide competition here. Be tuned!!

Helton Bastos aka Bafo' new sponsor

2008-09-30T17:29:00.000-07:00

This early afternoon I finally had a chance to see Helton Bastos trophy's collection. It is such a diversified one. He competes in biking, running, swiming and even dancing competions. He has always been one of the favourite competitors in all competions. It is not different this year. He has been training hard and now with a bunch of high tech equipment donated by several friends he met during previous races. He also have new sponsors, like Gabriel Pauano who exports açai to California. Açai(pronounced assai) is an Amazon palmberry loaded with antioxidants, heart-healthy fats and fiber. As the acai berry is composed of a large seed and only a very thin edible skin, Amazon natives don´t eat it straight but use it to make a thick, deep purple liquid, also called acai, which is one of their main dietary staples. Wonderfruit Acai is a line of authentic, fresh frozen packs of pure acai. Made with wild-grown berries from the depth of the Amazon rainforest, Wonderfruit Acai contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives - especially no citric acid - therefore providing not only all the awesome nutritional benefits of acai but also its authentic mild, dark-chocolaty taste.
Wonderfruit Acai - Pure Rainforest Power!

Junior's week-end at Alter do Chão

2008-09-28T12:40:00.001-07:00

Junior loves nature, one of the UEPA's dude and alter do chão...is one of the most beautiful sites in the region. Nice hikes, guides, bars and restaurants, beach bars, scenicly terrific, hotels and nice pousadas plus nice hotels. Totally cool and safe.
It is just 30 minutes from Santarem by car. Returning by boat to Santarem late in the afternoon is an unforgetable trip. It is also where Jungle Marathon participants will find the finish line.

Santarem...

2008-09-27T21:24:00.000-07:00

...is located quite between Belem and Manaus and is the third largest city in Brazilian Amazon. It is settled where the Tapajos river meets the might Amazon some 8ookm from the delta. About 300.000 cool people live here. fishing, timber exporting, tourism and husbandry are the main activities.
Through the last 6 years soybeans projects have been implemented up land, and it represents now a relatevely important exporting product.
Windsurfing(my case), swimming, biking, skating, basketball and obviously football are the most practiced sports. Jungle Marathon has created quite an interest in running, or I never noticed it was big here.

participated for in the JM2006. He did not go to the finish line. He had the same problem most local competitors have: Lack of experience and appropriate equipment.
At the end of the third stage he was leaking blood.
He says his main fault was unnecessary load he carried with.
The medical team obviously suggested him to go home and rest.
This year he comes better prepared.

Good luck this time buddy.

Maratona da Selva 2008
A Maratona da Selva acontecerá entre 07 ao 16 de Outubro na Floresta Nacional do Tapajós, considerada uma das mais belas unidades de conservação brasileira pelas suas comunidades, biodiversidade e beleza cênica. São quase 600.000 hectares de reserva cercada por floresta densa e as águas do Rio Tapajós, um dos mais bonitos do mundo.
A Maratona da Selva é uma competição de auto-suficiência, o que significa que os participantes terão que trazer sua própria alimentação e equipamento como rede de dormir, mosquiteiro, primeiros socorros etc.
Uma centena de atletas dos mais diversos países, tentarão cobrir o percurso de 200 km que é dividido em seis etapas com postos de inspeção distribuídos a cada 6 km, onde os atletas são monitorados por uma equipe médica e reabastecidos com água. A etapa mais longa é de 80 km e parte dela deverá ser percorrida a noite!
No final de cada etapa eles dividirão um acampamento previamente construído pelos comunitários e apoiados pela Exercito, Corpo de bombeiros. Enquanto uns descansam, outros alimentam seus blogs, web sites e familiares através de um sistema efetivo de internet, com informações sobre o evento que está entre os cinco maiores do planeta.
Este ano a o evento terá a cobertura e inúmeros canais de televisão, rádios e blogueiros locais e a ITV fará um documentário que será exibido para 80 milhões de pessoas. Espera-se que 500.000 pessoas acompanhem o evento através de site e blogs do evento.
Não é necessário ter experiência com a floresta para participar da maratona, mas é fundamental estar em boa forma e estar determinado. Um corpo em forma é necessário para percorrê-la, entretanto uma mente forte é fundamental para concluí-la.

"A dor é temporária. Ela pode durar 1 minuto, 1 hora, 1 dia, 1 semana, 1 ano ... mas em algum momento ela passa... e se vc desistir, vai ter de conviver com o incômodo de ter abandonado uma batalha e a sensação de perda. Mas se vc for em frente, vai conquistar a vitória e poder usufruir do gosto único que ela tem ... a vitória é eterna".
