With only some 800k left Jesper Olsen is on his way to become the first person to run the length of Africa. This as part of his mammoth 40 000km World Run II Project.

A large number of Rhodes Trail Run and Baviaanskloof Trail Run folk have been, are and will be involved assisting Jesper. Those of you who have been fortunate to have met the ever cheerful Jesper will know how much he appreciates the support through South Africa, coming at the end of a grueling run through Africa. Jesper is a phenomenal athlete, and everyone fortunate enough to meet him is certainly enriched.
