Sock-makers Bridgedale are backing an ultra run by three runners across the Kalhari Desert. The attempt will see a South African / Norwegian team embark on the 1000km run which it appears has never been undertaken before…

South African Everest summiteer Greg Maud will join Finns Jukka Viljanen and Kirsi Montonen in the 1,000km (620-mile) run across the inhospitable wilderness of some of Botswana’s most remote areas to raise cash for a cheetah conservation charity.

Full story over at the Grough

L to R: Greg, Kirsi and Jukka
