"Achieving Success In Extreme Outdoor Sports Adventures"
Who: Ultra marathoners Charlie Engle and Ray Zahab (subject of the upcoming documentary Running the Sahara)
What: Elite athletes Charlie Engle and Ray Zahab completed the equivalent of 2 marathons (55 miles) per day for 111 days straight covering six countries and over 4,000 miles across the Sahara Desert. The goal was to accomplish the impossible - to push themselves to the limit and learn about the people and places of the Sahara. The trip began in Senegal and ended at the Red Sea in Cairo Egypt. Engle and Zahab's journey will be documented in the upcoming film Running the Sahara.
Join Engle and Zahab during the Outdoor Retailer convention as they share their personal experiences from this remarkable journey and discuss how everyday enthusiasts can maximize endurance and incorporate technology like Magellan GPS to enhance their performance in extreme adventures.
With the launch of Magellan's new handheld, Charlie and Ray are available for meetings Saturday, before and after the presentation to discuss how technology helped them accomplish the impossible.
Where: Downtown Marriot-Salon E during the Outdoor Retailer Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah
