Aos poucos vão surgindo novas informações sobre o Eco-Challenge Fiji 2019, a volta de uma das maiores corridas de expedição do mundo. Pelo menos para os meros espectadores, porque nos últimas meses os atletas têm recebido diversas instruções sobre a prova.

A prova acontece em setembro e uma série de 10 episódios será lançada na Amazon Prime em 2020. E como esperado, muitas das equipes não foram apenas por performance, mas sim com estórias interessantes.

Algumas delas são: Team Khukuri Warriors, que tem como integrantes duas irmãs de 28 anos da India que correm pela igualdade de gênero e foram as primeiras gêmeas e sul-asiáticas a completar a Explorers Grand Slam (7 picos, Pólos Norte e Sul); uma equipe de corredores veteranos que participaram das nove edições do Eco-Challenge e agora retornam como avôs; uma equipe de escoteiros do Estados Unidos e outra da Austrália; uma equipe formada por soldados que foram feridos enquanto serviam nas Forças Armadas Norte-Americana; o corredor de aventura mais jovem a participar do AR World Series com 17 anos e que possui 3 recordes mundiais; uma equipe de atletas de Ironman, incluindo “The Iron Cowboy” que ganhou notoriedade ao completar 50 Ironmans em 50 Estados em 50 dias.

O Brasil estará representado por duas equipes: Atenah Brazil e Vidaraid Adventure. A Argentina estará com duas equipes também com destaque para Guri Aznarez, organizador do La Mision, e que já tinha participado do Eco-Challenge anteriormente:
