Maritime Dane winner of The Sahara Race
Anders Kartik Jensen, chartering manager in Lauritzen Bulkers' at the company's office in Singapore took a convincing victory in The Sahara Race 2010, a 250 km country footrace through the Sahara desert.
The race started on Sunday 3rd October 2010 and is part of the Racing the Planet series aiming to challenge individuals to go beyond their athletic frontiers.
The sixth and final stage of the race took place on Saturday 9th October and Anders Kartik Jensen completed the extremely rough race in 26 hours 56 minutes and 28 seconds almost 39 minutes ahead of American Ryan Bennett, who finished second.
The persuasive performance was further confirmed by the fact that Anders Kartik Jensen won all six stages of the race and during the competition he was characterised as "the dashing Dane" by the race organisers.
In the Racing the Planet series, Anders Kartik Jensen has previously completed the Sahara Race 2008, Namibia 2009 and most recently Gobi March 2010 in China, in which Anders Kartik Jensen took a fourth place.
