Media about team Calleva and Patagonian race.

U.S. Team Calleva members (L-R) Sara Percy, Druce Finlay, Valentin Chapa and Mark Lattanzi sit together at the opening ceremony of the Wenger Patagonian Expedition Race in Punta Arenas February 9, 2009. The annual event, regarded as the wildest and toughest adventure race in the world, was won this year by Helly Hansen Prunesco in six days after an epic 600kms course of mountain biking, kayaking and spectacular wilderness trekking, and some of the worst weather conditions in its history. Calleva lost their way after deciding to take a short cut because they had run out of food and had to feed off the land to stay alive. Picture taken February 9, 2009.

PUNTA ARENAS, Chile (Reuters) - Four American adventurers had to live on berries during three days lost in the wilderness, a Briton and the French defending champion suffered hypothermia, the Canadian team fell into an icy river with their equipment and a Spaniard got attacked by mosquitoes.
