"At 5am this morning, the remaining competitors in the 2007 jungle marathon set off on the final stage of the race.
For those who had finished the long stage in a reasonable time,they had spent yesterday afternoon relaxing on the sandy beach on the shores of the Tapajos before this final stage. For the back of the pack compeitors, one of whom crossed the finish line yesterday at 10pm, time was short to refuel and rest before todays start.

The 24km final stage is entitled Jungle marathon goes Carribbean, as the entire stage is run on the beach.

Sore feet meant that many runners took off their shoes and ran in the water!

Eltos Bastos crossed the finish line in Alto do Chao this morning at 0744- completing the stage in an impressive 2 hours and 44 minutes. Second place in this stage went to Widy Greco from Guadeloupe.

Eltons impressive time narrowed the gap betweeen himself and Widy, but Widys overall time for the week was some 48 minutes faster than Elton, making him this years champion.

Spectators gathered to watch the runners arrive, giving a party atmosphere to the finish of this years race.

Runners will enjoy their first proper meal in many days at lunch time, and tonight will celebrate their success at the dinner and prize giving in Alter do Chao."
