About the Race

The Namib Race 2022 starts on 1 May and takes place in the beautiful country of Namibia. The race takes place in the Namib Desert in the Erongo region and within the Namib-Naukluft National Park and finishes on the shoreline close to Swakopmund, which is our host town for the event. This is a true desert race with the opportunity to see real desert landscapes. You will be treated to the full spectrum that a desert has to offer, and will see diverse scenery and terrain as you complete the 250 kilometer / 155 mile course. This includes running into the Namibian ‘Moon Valley’, traversing salt pans, crossing a nearby ostrich farm, passing salt lakes which are home to flamingos, and running over the infamous dunes of the Namib desert and into dry riverbeds where a hint of water gives way to lush green vegetation.
