La 202 Primitive Run è una gara a tappe che si sviluppa in quattro giorni per i cultori delle ultradistanze (50 km al giorno per 4) oppure per i praticanti del Nordic/Fit-walking (25 km per 4), con un pizzico di orienteering, incontri etnici, vita all'aperto.
La gara podistica a tappe consente di capitalizzare due punti validi per la selezione alla partecipazione dell'UTMB (e ciò a partire dal 2012).
L'edizione 2014 si svolgerà dal 29 febbraio al 5 marzo.
Presentazione. The 202 km "primitive run" is a non competitive run (50km/day * 4 days, or nordic walking 25 km/ day * 4 days), with a taste of orienteering, ethnic meetings, outdoor living and adventure without anything that is not strictly necessary to survive in sefary.
I do not think you will find this mix in any other ultra trail in the desert. One of the reasons consists in the fact that this event is reserved for a very little number of athletes (max 8), so that after the first day, you will already know each other by name, eat at the same table.
The support and the logistic will be very small, simple and effective. From our point of view, to make a run of hundreds of athletes in the desert, with trucks, helicopter, electric generators is like to enter in a glasses’ shop with a drove of elephants… this is far away from our philosophy. We want that You can run and sleep in the silence, feeling the magnitude of the desert, away from business/commercial and touristic stuff, and feeling how is to run lonely in the great spaces. With the 202km, this dream will become real.
The event. The 202 km takes place in the Tunisian Sahara. It is approved (for the trail runners) since 2012 to get 2 points for the MontBlanc Ultra trail. The 4 laps of 50km each (25km x 4 for Nordic walkers) will allow you to discover, in a safe way, the most beautiful spots of tunisian sahara: the mountais of the central tunisia, the salt lake and its wonderful big white dunes, and the “classic” golden dunes of the desert.
