| BACKGROUND OF THE EVENT |
| We searched in Vietnam to offer a unique trip and a genuine experience off the beaten track to raise awareness to protect Mother Nature. Madagui Trophy, the Adventure Race sponsored by the natural juices Le Fruit, is held in and around Cat Tien National Park in Lamdong province to explore the deepest depths of the Vietnamese jungle, a stunning primary forest currently in danger of deforestation. Since the creation of this Adventure Race, Event organizers, Viet Adventure, are utilizing the Madagui Trophy as a vehicle to raise money for a local environment project devoted to helping build the local community and fight deforestation with social and environmental programs under a Sustainable Agro-Forestry Project lead by WWF. Madagui Trophy is not only a sport challenge on many disciplines, it has now become a myth in Asia. It is billed as ‘the most amazing adventure race in Asia’, ‘a true and unique Jungle Race’. |
MADAGUI TROPHY FOR KIDS- AGED 6-12
|
The first Madagui for kids will offer kids, aged 6 through 12, the opportunity to experience the thrill of adventure racing though Cat Tien National Park and the surrounding wilderness in the Vietnamese jungle. During the race, teams of two will experience mountain biking, jungle running and down rivers.
Overview: The Adventure Race will begin with instructions and safety briefing by Race Directors. Competitors will be divided into two waves based on age and will start at set intervals.(6 to 9 and 9 to 12)
The running part will go in the jungle and then down a small river to end up with water activities in the lake, for the older ones only, they 'll finish by a cycling race back to the resort.

| THE FOURTH EDITION |
| Adventure racing is a sport of both mental and physical greatness. On Sunday, March 6th 2011, Madagui Trophy was challenging the participants beyond limits in their own mind. The 170 athletes that met in Lamdong Province for the fourth edition of the Madagui Trophy know that adventure racing takes training, specialized gear, and certain skill knowledge. Almost half of the competitors in the Madagui Trophy were coming from abroad this year to discover the so famous Vietnamese jungle. |

| THE ULTRA RACE |
| For the Ultra race departure at 3am the participants woke in a terrible haze. The fog was so thick, the racers could not see the marking of the trails. Running ahead, most of the racers were soon lost in the rainforest. They had to feel the trees as they walked. Finally, Baptiste du Chaffaut the professional guide of Viet Adventure took his GPS to navigate through the hostile jungle and guide the group of racers back to the marked trail. |

| SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY |
| Viet Adventure’s commitment on the environment protection is a priority while organizing such events. Net proceeds are donated to the sustainable project of agro-forestry lead by WWF. It is also Viet Adventure’s intention to develop sport and understanding at the grassroots level and bring new athletes to our adventure race to understand the importance of forest protection. |
