Levente Rikter's Staging Area

Actually it is indescribable as it was an incredible week for me. Obviously the running day was a hard one, I had to cope with high humidity, heat, hills, injury.
But on the other hand running in this beautiful scenery kept me energized so are the villages and schools that we ran through where kids were waving, smiling, cheering us on, running at us to hold our hands or even pull us up onto the next hill. I felt freedom and happiness.
Things, memories keep coming up in my mind: campfire, friendships, wild shower, sunrise and sunset above the valley, beautiful green scenery, unbelievably welcoming people, the calm morning breakfasts at the open air canteen with that view, the kindness, the laughs, my tent, (I think I even miss my headtorch and mosquito repellent), the bus journeys with a new person to get to know next to me each time and kids, kids and kids. General happiness everywhere without having much. A lesson, an inspiration.

It`s not just a run, it`s a brilliant package: camping or glamping (there is hotel version, too) for a week with 150 like-minded people from many different countries, working for and with the locals on their projects, doing something good and challenging yourself with a run. Awesome, true mind opener and game changer.
