The end is in sight! Day 18 - 60km, Day 19 - 64km.

Day 16 - 60km, Day 17 - 64km. "That hardest times sometimes yield the most beautiful things." - Ray

50 degrees Celsius, navigating through mining areas and battling back! Day 14: 41km, Day 15: 60km.

61km, intense heat and insane winds. We hope our camera does the sights justice!

Ray runs 61km, more extraordinary scenery and the Chilean logistics team gives us a history lesson...

Camp life is slightly different for Ray than the rest of the team.

Ray made it to 45km today, a little over a marathon. The team tried their best to patch up "the blister"...

The terrain reminds Ray of a trail back home, the team visits a meteor impact site and a salt mine...

Perseverance. Ray tests his foot after receiving aggressive treatment; see how he did on Day 8!

Day 7 was a difficult day. Ray suffered from a very bad blister and was forced to call the team to look at it...

Bob shows where Ray and the team sleeps, how the team packs/travels and more!

Lots of action on Day 6! Ray made his way through an active salt lake, ran along abandoned railroads...

Had an awesome day for several reasons. The terrain is totally my style which is extremely motivating!

Day 3 and day 4 have been very difficult, especially from a mental perspective...

More gorges and more roads - 61.5km. A little beat up today; didn't get much sleep...

Started at the Peruvian/Chilean border and completed 78.5km.

Here is the raw footage from Ray's CBC Now interview on January 23.
