Trailing the Great Messengers
Frank Hülsemann’s got no illusions: “You have to be a bit mad to do something like this.” Our team joins the runner on a spectacular journey. Together with friends and colleagues he wants to run 4000 kilometres through South America. An extreme relay run across the Andes and through the Atacama Desert – from Chile to Ecuador. They want to try and find the way that the Inca emperors’ messengers used more than 500 years ago. The run is a unique experiment for historians, an extraordinary research project for sports scientists, and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure for all involved.
Wolfgang Luck, publicnomad and their camera team followed the runners on their extreme relay run.
