One of the things that I really wanted to bring back in this year's race is the interaction of the Ni-Vanuatu as they prepare their evening meals and the competitors as they speed through, both touching each other’s lives briefly but memorably.

One of the really interesting things about Port Vila is that it is surrounded by Shanty Towns set up by Ni-Vanuatu who have come in from other islands to try and find work.

The best way to give the competitors a good look at this will be to do it on Mountain Bikes.

The roads are quiet on Saturday afternoons, the opportune time to do some sightseeing while racing to find those Checkpoints.

So make sure you pack a good set of bike lights and see you soon

Daniel the only Ni-Vanuatu to complete the 2010 Inaugural VAR is looking for a partner to compete again.

His partner of last year Craig Unthank is a new Dad and isn't coming across this year.

This from Darren Smith

Daniel is a strong athlete, really impressed us last year.  His eyesight and spotting trail markers in the dark and moving through at speed with a crappy torch was amazing

Hey all,

We're planning to give you some snippets of the Race this year via Video Clips that Zeak is putting together.

So I convinced my wife to dress like an Adventure Racer and join me as my team mate in the first video.  For those of you who didn't come last year Mel is an Accountant and quickly agreed because she figures it would be about as close to her doing an Adventure Race as she will ever get.

When Greg at a look it he had three comments

Sensational

The water looks amazing
