2007 Patagonia Expedition Race Is Over!


According to Sleep Monsters the French team TSL Outdoors La Clusaz has won the 2007 Patagonia Expedition Race. The same report is confirmed at the official site as well. There are still a few teams out on the course, sot he podium is not set yet, but they are quickly closing in on the finish line marking the end of a 1100+km race that has been running over the past two weeks.

TSL Outdoors La Clusaz has led the race from Day 1, and has been strong from the starting gun. The other teams have been chasing them ever since. Congrats to the winners on a race well run.

This years race has been extremely difficult to get any updates on, and I've been fairly disappointed that even the official site hasn't done a very good job at keep us updated as to what is happening down there. I appreciate the fact that Patagonia is a very remote place, but surely they radio in reports on daily basis for those of us interested in following the event. Adventure racing isn't exactly the most fan friendly sport to follow to begin with, but the lack of coverage makes it even more so. Hopefully next year this can be addressed.
