Ambition Events is delighted to announce
SportsTrack as an Official Partner of our UK Ultra Marathons and RAW Series events.
SportsTrack is the leader in real-time GPS trail recording. Participants are each provided with a SportsTrack unit which records their position and transmits it immediately to the SportsTrack website. This information is then projected in real time and is accessible to anyone via the internet or through a mobile phone handset. No special downloads are required. No additional software needs to be loaded onto your computers. The position of each participant is continually updated onto the website which is then accessible from anywhere in the world as the participant moves through the race.
SportsTrack and its integrated internet and mobile phone based mapping solutions were developed in South Africa and launched there in March 2007 by SportsTrack Pty in Cape Town. The company has a long track record of designing and building vehicle, personal and bespoke tracking equipment solutions for corporate, business and individual use. The system has until now only been available in Southern Africa where over three thousand systems have been sold. As a personal tracking solution for sporting applications, it has been used by many top athletes.
“We are thrilled that SportsTrack has come aboard and I cannot wait to use the tracking units for our upcoming event, the Coast Challenge. It has never been easier to become a part of the ultra marathon community, whether you’re a competitor or spectator,” says Terry Southam, General Manager at Ambition Events.
So tune in to Ambition Life between 11th-13th September and virtually see how your loved-one, friend, or future fellow competitor is doing.
22nd - 26th February 2009
Raw Africa will take place in the pitiless surrounds of the Namib Desert through the famous Sossusvlei salt pan and on to some of the highest sand dunes on the planet. Heat, height and sand combine to make this a truly exceptional challenge in the most spectacular of surroundings.
Namibia Tourism is the official partner and will be taking an active role with the organisation and support of the race.
Entries open on Monday 21st July
With 43 athletes already registered - The Thames Path Ultra (50 Mile) is looking to be a real winner.
It is an ideal event to help those preparing for the Marathon des Sables or one of our RAW events. The 50 mile course follows the Thames Tow Path from Reading to the Holiday Inn at Shepperton.
Race Day - 17th January 2009
Are you up for 105 Miles on the South West Coastal Path?
After a successful and challenging Pennine Relentless Challenge, we here at Ambition are literally hitting the ground running and hitting it hard. Not only running, but rising, we are setting you another challenge with over 10 000m of ascent and descent over the duration of the race, that combined is higher than Everest.
The Coast Challenge from Haytor through Dartmoor to Plymouth creates fresh experiences that we believe has never been set in races before in the UK. Prepare yourself for conditions so unique, so novel that you will have to pack your sharpest wits, your strongest resolve and an extra dose of stamina to grab a well earned finisher’s medal.
