Once Again Tracking Igor: Somewhere in Namibia

It was only 2 months ago we tracked OEGlobal Co-Director Igor Lesko @igorlesko as he completed the Ironman South Africa Triathalon.

But the man does not just sit around, he is off again and running again starting June 14 … for 5 days and 200km across desert and over mountains in the Namibia Crossing Race

A 200km, five-day foot race from South Africa to Namibia through the ancient arid landscape of the /Ai/Ais-Richtersveld Transfrontier Park. From the crystal fields of Sendelingsdrif in South Africa to the infamous giant boulders of Tatasberg deep in the /Ai/Ais-Richtersveld Transfrontier Park; this unparalleled journey then crosses the Orange River into Namibia and the wild lands of the Fish River Canyon.

You can track Igor’s progress via Wildrunner’s map:

And please cheer him on and offer encouragement here as a reply. We are sure his mind will be very focused for five days for strategic planing and conference organizing, but he may not return any messages for a while.

Go, Igor, Go! And place some bets what is next on Igor’s running plans.

Thats pretty awesome !!! Good luck Igor !!! I work in the mental health space , May I share this with my network?

Thanks! Igor is likely not online while he travels there, but I am sure he would not mind sharing, he was happy when I shared his triathalon run.

Checking now at 2026-06-16T05:47:00Z if I read the tracker correctly, Igor has near the edge of Stage 1 having run 34km and is 6th place.

Track him yourself!

Well it looks like according to the tacker that Igor finished in 6th place for the 2026 Namibia Crossing, having run for a total of 4 days 5 hours 57 minutes and 35 seconds.

I hope he got a shinier medal than this and also is enjoying some rest.

Where might Igor run next?
