2 Weather, relief and vegetation
The region where the Adventure Race World Championship will take place has a unique and exclusively Brazilian characteristic. The rich geography in caatinga areas, endemic biome, and places formed by lengthy mangroves (with lots of mosquitoes), dunes, beaches and also areas of mountains - will hamper the athletes, which will also suffer with the shortage of water, high temperatures (near 40ºC), sandy terrains full of vegetation with thorns.
The use of sunscreen, the correct provision, transport and consume of water and isotonic rehydrators, as the need to have all the necessary supplies and bike repair kit are imperative for the stay until the end of the race.

Ecomotion ARWC in partnership with Globalstar do Brasil, will use for the 1st time in Brazil, SPOT, the world’s first satellite messenger, 100% via satellite.
Each team will receive one SPOT which will make possible for the organization and internet viewers, to visualize the teams exact location, via internet and in real time, providing to the athletes more safety and to the organization more control.
SPOT is a portable equipment, light and small, withstands a wide variety of extreme environmental shock and temperature conditions, and is also waterproof. It uses a satellite system to determine its exact location, which is sent and available on the SPOT client account. Besides, the registered contacts added by the SPOT user, receive a message via cellular (SMS) or email and can visualize the positioning of the user on Google Maps. SPOT is ideal for the lovers of outdoors activities and those that wish to live great adventures with safety.
