together 30 extraordinary people for 5 days this December to take on the challenge of Bali’s first swimrun and fundraise US$60\,000 to help protect the islands of Lembongan and Ceningan from plastic pollution. \nSwimRun is a Nordic adventure sport where teams of two compete by alternating between running and swimming on a challenging course covering roads\, beaches\, ocean\, rocks\, and paths. Each team must help each other through the terrain to beat the course and complete the entire course together. Unlike triathlon there are no transitions or changes of equipment allowed. \nThe environmental challenge presented by plastic is well documented. What is less clear is what we can do as individuals to tackle this problem. By combining our voices and supporting better recycling infrastructure and greater awareness among young people we are actively building a better future. \nThe Bali Hope SwimRun will create a new global family among the participants and\, combined with the best hospitality available\, provide a life-changing experience for everyone involved. \nWe ask participants to commit to fundraising US$2\,000 for our charity partners and joining the entire 5 day experience. \nDISTANCES\n17 km run\, 2.5 km swim \nOur 5 days on Lembongan\nA shared team experience and deep connection to the impact we are making is important to us.

Many of our team members will travel to Bali from Europe or North America and it is important to acclimatise before the SwimRun. \nCan I bring a partner and/or children?\nOf course. Partners and children are most welcome. In 2018 on our ultra marathon we had 4 young people with us\, including one young adult who joined our support crew. Witnessing a team of adults from around the world making change happen for a disadvantaged community can only be a positive experience. \nCan I join the SwimRun but not the rest of the week? \nUnfortunately not. The integrity of our SwimRun team\, our shared experience and our itinerary means this is not possible. \nThe SwimRun \nWhat is your advice if I have never joining a SwimRun before?\nThe route is designed to be challenging but accessible for anyone with a decent level of fitness. We do recommend researching SwimRun and the standard equipment required. \nWhat level of support do you provide?\nParticipant safety on this ocean & road race is our key priority. With this in mind we have a highly-experienced health and safety director\, emergency medical back-up\, and trained first aiders in both fixed and mobile-aid stations. \nWhat insurance do I need? \nEvery participant will need insurance covering endurance sports. \nFundraising \nWhat is your advice on fundraising?\nCritical factors on successful fundraising include starting early to raise awareness of what you are doing\, the impact it will make and the training commitment required\, and then follow this up with personal messages to friends\, family and your broader network. We believe US$2\,000 is very achievable and together we can make a real impact in reducing plastic pollution.

Staged in the deep winter and high summer months\, each edition of the race will visit iconic landmarks steeped in SAS folklore and following in the footsteps of a history of young men in search of something out of the ordinary. Forged on memories and nostalgia for our past endeavours and struggles as we pitted ourselves against one of the world’s great endurance challenges\, we could think of no finer culmination than to stage the finish at the iconic old red phone box via Pen y Fan summit\, the highest mountain in the Brecon Beacons range\, the outline of which is engraved onto the heart of every SAS man.For our DS team it was always far more than a challenge or test\, it was a pilgrimage and the adventure of a life time and we’re honoured and humbled to be able to share a small part of our past with those who take on the Blade Runner Ultra marathon challenge. \nAll runners who complete the course by passing through each RV point and making time cuts will be presented with a special cloth patch by one of our former SAS staff at the finish line. Category champion prizes will be provided by Paramo and our other sponsors as well as a framed route map featuring original SAS insignia. \nCATEGORIES\nThe Blade Runner Ultra Series will be a Clean Fatigue category only with no Load Bearing element. There will be Men’s and Ladies fields in the following age categories. \nROUTE INFORMATION & RV PROTOCOL\nThe Bladerunner route follows a sequence of forestry trails\, hill paths and old Roman roads\, negotiating 2200m of elevation gain over the 50 km course. Along the route you will pass through a series of DS manned rendezvous points where you will be required to log in to have your name and race number recorded and your suitability to continue assessed. RV points will be stocked with hot food and drinks\, with robust medical support and off-road vehicle rescue support. Owed to the very real risk of adverse weather conditions and the requirement to cover ground in darkness for at least two hours during the winter edition\, the opening part of the course will be illuminated with military grade cyalumes to provide enhanced route marking. \nThe Blade Runner route map is available for download and print on this page along with GPX files for your GPS device. \nBLADE RUNNER ULTRA START & FINISH\nThe de-serviced old red phone box has marked the start and finish points of the Fan Dance for nearly sixty years of SAS Selection. It has now become an iconic landmark steeped in the finest history and tradition of our Special Forces. The Blade Runner ultra-marathon will also launch from the very same location and be a welcome site at the end of the race. \nTHE BATTLE FOR JACOB’S LADDER\nThe legendary climb up Jacob’s Ladder is synonymous with SAS Selection and can be especially challenging to negotiate when covered in snow and ice. The rocky and step like upper reaches of this southern face of Pen y Fan is steep enough to require hand and foot placements to reach the summit. Jacob’s Ladder will be one of the most well-known and famous segments of the Blade Runner course\, rivalled by a number of other equally fearsome climbs you will have to negotiate. \nNIGHT RUNNING\nThe early part of the Winter Edition Blade Runner course will be run in darkness so head troches will be required. Head torches will be required unless the moon state is high with clear skies. Past editions of our Fan Dance night trail run have been blessed with strong ambient light conditions\, increased further by the snow on the ground so there’s always a chance absorbing the spectacular scenery by moonlight. \nBLADE RUNNER LEAGUE TABLES\nBlade Runner will have a league table for each category recording every edition of the race\, ranking each historical finisher in order of their finish time. The Fan Dance Race has a competitive Clean Fatigue/trail run race league table of its own which can be viewed to assess the competition: League Tables \nGENERAL EVENT INFORMATION \nBASE CAMP\nThe Storey Arms Outdoor centre will function as the event Base Camp\, administration area and Command Centre.

This will be the starting area for all events.  \nRace briefing & event start time \nRace briefing is compulsory for all children and will take place 5 minutes before each age category starts.

The prize giving will take place in the Challenge Wanaka finish area at 4:00pm for all age groups. \n  \n\n\n\n\n  \nCourse Description\nPlease refer to course map for details \nSWIM (Year 4-6) \nThe swim leg of the race will be in Lake Wanaka and will run parallel to the shore. Children start according to their age division in wave starts and will swim parallel to the lake. The race will commence with wave starts\, which will consist of a maximum of 25 children per wave. Wave’s will commence approximately 2-5 minutes apart and when the last swimmer of the last wave exits the water. \nThe depth of the swim will enable all children 10 and under to be able to stand up in the water at any time\, but will be deep enough to allow children to swim fluidly. We know how intimidating it is for children participating in Triathlon and especially within the first swim leg. For this reason\, we have an option for non-swimmers.  Non-swimmers will have the option to run along the beach\, after the last swimmer has left the water instead of swimming.  For those who choose to swim\, they will need to swim the entire distance but can take breaks by simply standing up in the water at any time.  However\, they will not be able to move forward in the water whilst standing on their feet.   The Wanaka Lake Swimmers club will be out in the water with noodles to support and regulate each wave of children. \nThe Lake Wanaka swimmers club will be out in the water on stand-up paddle boards or in kayaks and waves will stay small with 25 children per wave. This enables a safe and achievable transition from the Junior Challenge to a longer traditional triathlon swim format. \nBIKE (Year 1-6)\n \nThere will be one main transition area\, as illustrated in the course map.  Swimmers/runners will cross Ardmore Street (which will be closed to vehicles) and enter the transition area and locate their bike\, which will be in numbered sections within each age category.  Helmets are compulsory for the bike leg and marshals will be checking helmets are secured when children exit the transition. The bike will be a loop course that will go along the Millennium track that runs parallel to Ardmore St towards Stoney Creek carpark.  Year 1-3 will turn around just after the toilet block and head back along the gravel path that runs alongside the lake. The older children (Year 4-6) will continue up Ardmore/Mt Aspiring Rd) and turn right into Wanaka Station Park before linking up with the grassy verge which runs above the Millennium track. Children will continue along the grassy verge until they reach Edgewater where they will turn around and continue back along the Millennium track\, via Stoney creek and back to transition area. \nRUN (Year 1-6)\n \nChildren will enter the transition through the Ardmore St entry chute and rack their bikes and continue to exit on the Brownston St end of the transition area. \nYear 1 & 2 children will take a swift left turn after exiting the bike transition and make their way to the finish line area (main Challenge Wanaka finish line). \nYear 3\, Year 4 and Year 5 children will take a right turn as they exit the bike transition area and continue in an anti-clockwise direction boreding the transition area. They will then continue anti-clockwise on a 750m square loop towards the Cardona Valley road end of Pembroke park. Upon completing the loop they will then continue towards the Challenge Wanaka finish line area (as per the course map description). \nYear 6 children will complete two loops of the 750m course around Pembroke Park. Upon completing 1 lap they will be handed a coloured band\, which is evidence of their 1st lap completing. They will need to hand this to the volunteers stationed at a desk upon completion of their 2nd loop and then continue to make their way to the finish line. If children only complete 1 loop they will be disqualified so please ensure your children are aware of the two loop course. \nNote: We will have volunteer marshals in place along the way to assist\, but please ensure your children are familiar with the course and the transition area (and direction they exit for each leg). Refer to the course maps to clarify the finer details of the course.  The course will be marked from 3pm on Thursday the 14th of February 2019. \n  \nVolunteers\nThe execution of this event is supported by local volunteers. If you can spare a few hours\, please sign up on the Volunteer page through the Challenge Wanaka website. With 1000 children competing over the course of 6 hours\, we need a lot of support and the children competing really appreciate having helpers there to support them as they achieve something truly remarkable. \n  \nResults\nClick this link to see the 2019 results \nClick this link to see the 2018 results \nClick here to see the 2017 results \nClick here to see the 2016 results \nClick here to see the 2015 results \nClick here to see the 2014 results. \nClick here to download the 2013 results. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2018 Photos\nMarathon Photos were out and about on the Junior Challenge course for 2018.  Click to their website and search for your number or your name to find pictures of you/your child!

(arriving time 22:05) \nPrice: 900 Euros with registration fee included\nChildren can travel accompanied without problem\, following some advice from the organization. The price for children under 16 is 750€\nRegistration deadline: January 15th \nThe registration fee is the same for both runners and non-runners and includes:\nFlight Ticket Madrid-Tindouf-Madrid\nAlgerian visa \nAccomodation: participants will be split in to small groups of 4-5 and will be hosted by Saharawi families in their tents. Mattresses\, pillows and blankets will be provided but bringing a sleeping bag is strongly recommended.\nIf you are repeating and already know a family\, and want to be their guests\, you can stay with them. \nFood: participants will eat meals with the Saharawi families. \nWater: participants will receive mineral water in sealed bottles as required. \nTransport: transportation will be provided from Tindouf to the camps and for various site visits. \nRace registration: race participation\, t-shirt and a medal. \nSCHEDULE \nAlthough it is not easy to comply with a scheduled programme in the camps\, this is the travel plan: \nSaturday: upon arrival at the camps participants will be assigned to local families and shown to their tents where they will be able to rest\nSunday and Monday: participants will be free to explore the camps and acclimatise. Race registration will take place and a information will be provided.\nTuesday: SaharaMarathon\nWednesday: celebration of the aniversary of the foundation of the Saharawi Republic\, award ceremony\nThursday: visit with a guide of a school\, a nursery\, a pharmacy dispensary\, and at the end a talk about the history of Saharawi people\nFriday: children race and olympics\, and excursion for tea on the sand dunes \nThe Sahara Marathon organisation and the Saharawi people will try to ensure visitors enjoy their stay at the camps. However\, it is important to understand that the event is also about solidarity and\, for a week\, participants will be living in the same conditions that the Saharawis have endured for 43 years. With this in mind\, it is requested that participants visit the camps with an open mind and a flexible attitude. \nTHE FLIGHT\nAn Air Algerie aircraft has been chartered to transport the delegation from Madrid to Tindouf\, leaving on Saturday 23rd February and returning on Saturday 2nd March.\nHowever\, in the event that less than 100 participants register to take the chartered flight it may be necessary to revert to scheduled flights requiring a change of aircraft in Algiers.\nThe schedule won’t be official until AirAlgerie confirmation.\nThe plane will make a technical stop at Orán or Algier\, but normally there’s no need to get out of the plane.\nThe allowed luggage is 15 kilos per traveler. \nVISA\nThe visa is collective and we will take care of it. Don’t forget your passport and make sure about the expire date (must be valid for 6 months ahead of the travel date). Minimum validity until September 3\, 2019 \nTHE ACCOMODATION\nAll participants will be split in to small groups of 4-5 and will be hosted by Saharawi families in their tents. You can ask to join a particular group or create one\, otherwia you’ll be assigned randomly.\nAll families will receive economical aid and supplies from the organization\, and since for the saharawi hospitality is very important they’ll do their best to make you feel part of the family.\nIf you want you can bring small gifts to the family\, possibly sharing the gifts amongs neighborood families and kids to help more people. We suggest small toys for the kids\, flashlights\, pens and colored pencils\, utility tools… \nTHE FOOD\nThe organization will offer a breakfast and a pocket lunch the day of the race. All other meals will take place with the respective saharawi families (lentils\, couscous\, salads\, camel or goat meat\, french fries\, pasta)\nIs very important to drink only the bottled water (we’ll take car of water distribution in each family)\, that is the same water used for tea that you can drink safely. \nSHOPS\nIf you want to buy something you can use Euros (don’t bring large bills). There are quite a lot of shops where you can buy artisan articles and have a drink. You can also find locutories where you can call home. The best is to bring one of the childs with you so they can understand you better. \nHYGIENE\nWe’ll stay in a refugee camps in the middle of the desert\, this means that we must forget a daily shower and all the commodities of our WCs.\nOutside every house/tent there will be a small building with a wc\, and you’ll always have available a basin with water to wash.\nThe day of the race\, if we won’t have problems with water\, everyone will have the chance to take a shower in the protocol building (bring your soap and towel). \nLUGGAGE\nBesides the normal weight limit of 15 kg per person please note that we bring a lot of material for the project. We ask you to not bring too much luggage.\nTemperatures: during the day it is spring temperature (20º-25º) and at night is quite chilly (10º) so it is recommended to bring an anorak or a warm sweater.\nYou should bring:\n– sleeping bag\n– toilet paper\n– sunglasses\n– sunscreen\n– sandals\n– shorts\n– hat \nFAQ\nDo I have to vaccinate? It is not necessary\, just enough care in food and water consumption (bottled only). It’s recommended to schedule a previous medical examination. \nWhat temperature am I going to find? Between 8º and 28º. Fresh nights and spring days. Possibility of some sandstorms. \nWhat will we eat there? Your family will prepare pasta\, tortilla\, cous cous\, lentils or some meat (chicken\, goat or camel). \nWhat footwear do I run? The terrain is generally hard and stony with some sand. You can run with trail shoes or leggings\, but usually the best are normal training shoes. \nIs there a time limit for the race? No\, there are people that walk all the way to the finish. \nAre there feeding zones in the route? Yes\, every 3 kilometers or less there is a place with water\, fruit and some energy bar. \nCan I change the distance to which I have registered? Yes\, until the previous night you can change the distance by communicating it to the organization. \nDo we have showers after the race? Yes\, but only on the day of the race\, in the jaimas you can clean yourself with water from tanks and buckets. \nWhat currency is used there? The official currency is the Algerian dirham\, but in most shops euros are accepted (small bills are recommended). \nWhat traditions do they have? A very tolerant and hospitable Muslim society; we will often be invited to the tea ceremony. \nIn what language do they speak? Their language is Hassania\, an Arabic dialect\, but in almost every house there is someone who speaks Spanish because they study it in school and because many children have family in Spain or have come on vacation. \nDo I bring a gift?

The race not only has generously achievable cut off times (four hours for 21\,1 km and seven hours for the marathon) but caters equally for runners and walkers. This is an ideal entry level Marathon\, Half Marathon or 10km. \nThe basket of races also includes a 10km race beginning at 9.30am. This is open to runners and walkers and has a generous 2 hour 30 minute limit. \nTo give you something different\, we have added two trail runs. Lynton Kynloch has designed a trail course along the banks of the Umsinduzi River. The trail will offer a 7 km option as well as a 16 km distance. These events will be run on Saturday morning\, 23rd February. \nTHE MARATHON OF CHOICE \nTraditionally\, more Comrades entrants used this race as their qualifier than any other race. Comrades Marathon Qualifying time is 4 hours 50 minutes. The 42.2km is also a Two Oceans Marathon (5 hours) qualifier. \nIn our continuing efforts to improve this event\, the organisers have The Witness as a Media Partner\, and Thirsti handling logistics.

The first session TOMORROW is an important session where I will test your aerobic capacity (or your run VO2 max)\, this can be done fairly accurately with a simple time trial and will provide paces which will really help each training phase. If you do own a pace watch PLEASE wear it to each session and I will provide you with your paces that we will be using after our simple test tomorrow.
