Au revoir ‘Raid Amazones’
View(s):‘Raid Amazones’, the world’s biggest female adventure race concluded successfully earlier this month with close to 500 contestants from France over the two legs. Contestants completed approximately 50km of trail running, 32km of Kayaking and 46km of cycling and running, over the course of the race.
‘Raid Amazones’ is unique because it is the first event of its kind to be held on the east coast of Sri Lanka where most activities took participants deep into countryside villages bordering Thopigala, Kiran and Koralai Pattu. These are villages where not many tourists nor locals have ventured to.
The event was organised by the French organisation ZBO (https://www.zbo.fr/event/) hand in hand with their local partners Connaissance De Ceylan and the Sri Lanka Tourist Promotion Bureau.
