Help Us Make A Difference

Libby & Nadja set to compete in Transalpine Race to raise money for Power To Be

Libby Nadja

After training together on various mountain runs and getting our feet wet in ultramarathons, we decided to challenge ourselves further by travelling to Europe for the Transalpine Race. This is a "Globally unique super run across the Alps".

Starting in Rupholding Germany, we'll run on some of the best high Alpine trails in the Alps, crossing Austria and ending in Sexten Italy . We will run for 8 continous days and climb almost 18,000m during the race's 298km course. With 250 teams of two, from around the globe, it's sure to be an exciting & challenging adventure.

Our goal is to fundraise $5000 for Power to Be.

With this fundraising we hope to give more kids the opportunity to learn & grow in the outdoors, so they can share such joys & experiences as we have.

Date: September 4th to 11th 2010
