A race along the Alps. Krippenstein (Austria) to Monaco. 800km. 30 athletes. They can walk/climb or paraglide. One ground based supporter, who is not allowed to use motorized or powered flight. The race runs 24x7, snow or shine. First one to Monaco wins.
A colleague at Storm, Keith Mould, who paraglides himself, pointed me to the website where you can follow the whole thing live - even using Google Earth if you choose!
The tracking data is apparently sent from Nokia N95 phones the guys carry.
I imagine days like this make all the pain worthwhile!
