Helton Bastos aka Bafo' new sponsor


This early afternoon I finally had a chance to see Helton Bastos trophy's collection. It is such a diversified one. He competes in biking, running, swiming and even dancing competions. He has always been one of the favourite competitors in all competions. It is not different this year. He has been training hard and now with a bunch of high tech equipment donated by several friends he met during previous races. He also have new sponsors, like Gabriel Pauano who exports açai to California. Açai(pronounced assai) is an Amazon palmberry loaded with antioxidants, heart-healthy fats and fiber. As the acai berry is composed of a large seed and only a very thin edible skin, Amazon natives don´t eat it straight but use it to make a thick, deep purple liquid, also called acai, which is one of their main dietary staples. Wonderfruit Acai is a line of authentic, fresh frozen packs of pure acai. Made with wild-grown berries from the depth of the Amazon rainforest, Wonderfruit Acai contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives - especially no citric acid - therefore providing not only all the awesome nutritional benefits of acai but also its authentic mild, dark-chocolaty taste.
Wonderfruit Acai - Pure Rainforest Power!

Gabriel Ribeiro...


participated for in the JM2006. He did not go to the finish line. He had the same problem most local competitors have: Lack of experience and appropriate equipment.
At the end of the third stage he was leaking blood.
He says his main fault was unnecessary load he carried with.
The medical team obviously suggested him to go home and rest.
This year he comes better prepared.

Good luck this time buddy.

Pix shows Gabriel and Gilvandro at Jungle Marathon HQ.

Gilvandro de Oliveira


essa é sua terceira participação na Maratona da Selva. Em 2006 tem uma foto dele segurando um trofeu. Sua equipe a Natural Art foi campeã. Ano passado ele não completou a corrida.
- Meu eqipamento não estava adequado pra competição. Meu tênis uma porcaria.

Esse ano com tenis novo doado pelo Elder Francisco de Portugal mas que mora na Suecia
sua chances são bem maiores.

-Valeu a ajuda Elder!! ele agradece.

Good luck dude. I say!!

Dr. Mark Hines gave an immense atmospheric and medical assistence to the race last year.
I am surprised this year he will be one of the participants.
Via one of his best friend John, he raised considerable amount of dosh for the Kids Marathon, that did not surprised me!!
Mark was one of the coolest bloke I ever met. Thanks in my name, the kids' and Jungle mArathn's.
