Last-Minute Preparations Before Race (February 4, 2011)

The race is only three days away, and the Nomadas office is bustling with anticipation and excitement. Teams Gear Junkie (U.S.), Almost Famous (U.S. & U.K.), Road Runners (Denmark) and Dancing Pandas (U.S., New Zealand & Canada) all arrive today.

Our crew at Nomadas is currently exceeding 50 volunteers and interns, and everyone is hard at work with last-minute preparations. Some of the tasks include (but aren't limited to): food preparation; equipment checks; airport transfers; public relations; and logistics planning.

Meanwhile, the racers are just as busy. Equipment needs to be checked and gear assembled. But it's not all mechanics; teams need to acclimate themselves to the harsh conditions of southern Chile and mentally prepare for a race so tough on the mind and body.
