The Amarin Outdoor Unlimited River Kwai Trophy 2010
 6 March 2010

The 5th edition of this highly popular race is supported by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Kanchanaburi province. This Race is by far the largest and most exciting Adventure Race in Thailand. Created to promote and expose the beauty of Thailand, the event will also raise funds for the Elephant Conservation Network of Kanchanaburi (http://www.ecn-thailand.org). Scheduled on March 6th and part of the Amazing Thailand Adventure Race Series, the race will start and finish at the world-renowned River Kwai Bridge. The competitors will hike and run through unspoiled jungle, paddle and swim in the Kwai River and cycle over the hills and farmlands of western Thailand.

The safety issue is for us extremely important. An ambulance, nurses and a doctor from the local Hospital will be on duty that day. The race has been specially designed to allow this medical staff on the scene in a matter of minutes in case of an emergency.

Adventure racing is a challenging sport, but teamwork and good sportsmanship are integral parts of making it a safe event. Pay attention to the needs of your teammates and other teams. If someone needs help, stop and help them.

Also, please come well prepared: mentally, physically, logistically.

Safety Considerations specific to this event include: Dehydration/ Hyponatremia; Exposure/Hypothermia; Wildlife (snakes, spiders, stray dogs, mosquitoes…..); travel through rugged areas (abrasions, twisted ankles, etc).
