The 5th 50 mile Race for the Rainforest, originally set for November of 2005, was postponed due to the destruction and aftermath from Hurricane Katrina. The race has been tentatively rescheduled and postponed several times due to various Katrina-related health and other issues, but is now scheduled for 5:00 am, November 9th, 2008.
As in the past, the race will consist of 25 2-mile loops through beautiful Audubon Park in New Orleans, LA. There will be awards for the male and female winners in the Open and Masters divisions. All finishers will receive a 2006 commemorative organic cotton "Race for the Rainforest" T-Shirt. All 5:00 am starters who complete at least 5 loops but do not finish will receive a commemorative T-Shirt from one of the previous 50-mile races.
As in the past, there is no entry fee, however donations to one or both of our designated beneficiaries, or other worthy charities of choice, would be greatly appreciated.
The Race for the Rainforest will provide replacement fluids, energy foods, and the incredible Amazon Rainforest Warrior and Recovazon endurance-and-recovery herbal nutritional supplements to all runners.
