Set in the world’s most stunning and culturally rich places, RacingThePlanet is a unique series of ultramarathons, including the Atacama Crossing (Chile), Special Edition Georgia, the Namib Race (Namibia), and The Last Desert (Antarctica).

“I discovered RacingThePlanet many years ago as a volunteer at the Sahara race in Egypt,” Pruitt said. “I was invited to assist with the race in Namibia in October 2021. After a decade and a half of running my own production company, it feels like a full circle. I’m stoked to direct the next Namib race, and I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to share the stories of people who endure and inspire, which is something I am truly passionate about.”
