1. What is the core idea behind Oxfam Trailwalker 2013?
Oxfam Trailwalker is the world’s greatest team challenge to overcome poverty and injustice. With teams of four required to walk (or run)
100 km in 48 hours, it is a test of physical endurance requiring mental strength and team spirit. Oxfam India conducted the first Trailwalker from February 10 to 12, 2012 on a route from Sangam, Mekedatu to Eagleton Golf Club, off Bangalore. The second edition will be conducted from January 25 to 27, 2013 from the picturesque Pearl Valley, Anekal to Eagleton, Bidadi off Bangalore and 174 teams will participate. The registration fee for each team is R12,000, and each team needs to fundraise a minimum of R40,000 to participate.
