"ACHIEVING SUCCESS
IN EXTREME OUTDOOR SPORTS ADVENTURES"
Who:
Ultra marathoners Charlie Engle and Ray Zahab (subject
of the upcoming documentary Running the Sahara)
What: Elite athletes Charlie Engle
and Ray Zahab completed the equivalent of 2 marathons
(55 miles) per day for 111 days straight covering six
countries and over 4,000 miles across the Sahara Desert.
The goal was to accomplish the impossible - to push
themselves to the limit and learn about the people and
places of the Sahara. The trip began in Senegal and
ended at the Red Sea in Cairo Egypt. Engle and Zahab's
journey will be documented in the upcoming film Running
the Sahara.
Join Engle and Zahab during the Outdoor Retailer convention
as they share their personal experiences from this remarkable
journey and discuss how everyday enthusiasts can maximize
endurance and incorporate technology like Magellan GPS
to enhance their performance in extreme adventures.
With the launch of Magellan's new handheld, Charlie
and Ray are available for meetings Saturday, before
and after the presentation to discuss how technology
helped them accomplish the impossible.
