07.12.2007

Bimbache Extrem is not only Spain’s most important adventure race, it is also one of the most recognized expedition races world-wide. First prize includes a guaranteed spot for the winning team at the ARWS finals that will take place in Brazil in 2008.

This year’s running of Bimbache Extrem will take place from May 11-18, 2008. The race is organized by internationally reknowned racer Antonio de la Rosa, captain of team Teva-La Pinilla.

Now in its sixth year, this edition of Bimbache Extrem will maintain many of its basic principals, in order to continue to be the race that everyone wants to compete in:

- a non-stop adventure race for mixed-sex teams of four people, which will take competitors between 3 and 5 days to complete
- the race is unassisted, all assistance being undertaken by the organization, which significantly lowers costs for competitors, thereby helping to equalize the field between teams who have a higher or lower level of sponsorship
- registration opens on December 1, and costs 2000 Euros until February 1, after which date the cost will be 2400 Euros
- the registration fee includes all transfers to and from the international airport in Madrid, hotel accommodation before and after the race, and all race maps etc...
- significant prize money of US$30,000 will be distributed amongst the top five classified teams
- participation is limited to only 35 teams, who will be selected strictly by the order in which their registration is received
- the exact race location will be announced soon
