Marathon Runners Prepare for Challenging Ultra-Distance Water Race Two elite marathon runners, Linda Tetsmann and Anette Baumi, are gearing up for a demanding season of long-distance races across Europe and beyond. The pair, who will compete in several key Estonian and European marathon events this season, are preparing for a unique and demanding challenge: a 1000-kilometer ultramarathon in the United States. The event, known as “Alabama 650,” will require the runners to complete the course entirely on the water. Participants will navigate a single boat for a full week, covering approximately 1000 kilometers while the vessel remains afloat. This ambitious undertaking represents a significant shift in the runners’ training and strategy. Tetsmann and Baumi’s preparation includes extensive training for both land-based marathon events and the specialized demands of the water-based race. The “Alabama 650” race is scheduled for October and will test the athletes’ endurance and navigational skills. The combination of the marathon distance and the extended period on the water promises a truly exceptional and demanding competition.
