40 hours into the Atacama Crossing “Race the Planet” race in Chile

Category: Chile, Miscellaneous, People Tracking, TT-1900rdonat @ 7:56 am

Keir is doing well, in 112th place (out of 127 left in the race), and there are a LOT of people who have dropped out.

The site says he has raced for just shy of 40 hours. We are tracking him every hour with a GPS Insight TT-1900.

I ran a track like this:

GPS Track of Keir across a Chilean desert

And see where he’s gone (roughly — we update once an hour):

This shows 94.2 miles, but it’s been more than that, since he’s not racing in a straight line.

Good luck Keir!  He’s got 1 more 25 mile day, then a 50 some mile day tomorrow to complete this race, his second Racing the Planet race.
