Tested to the extreme.
Running 500km solo across the Atacama Desert, ultra runner James Poole chose LIGHTRANGE™ technology to keep himself cool.
An unsanctioned event with no rules and no spectators, The Speed Project is a 500km foot race that pits elite runners against the world’s hottest and driest environments. The latest edition traversed the world’s driest non-polar region – the Atacama Desert – where LIGHTRANGE™ technology formed a key part of The North Face Explorer Team Member James Poole’s equipment.
