Vegans don't eat, wear or use animal products, or products tested on animals. Sure, it helps the animals and the environment, and enables more efficient use of global food and water resources, thereby saving human lives too.
But no meat pies, no leather jackets, and no animal-tested lipstick?!? Surely vegans must endure grim and joyless lives of self-denial? Doubtless we dream of little more than our own untimely deaths, as we feebly stagger through our days, made pale and weak by lack of essential animal proteins...? What kind of folk would subject themselves to such extremes???
Actually, growing numbers of athletes, as well as otherwise normal folk, who have discovered some very important truths: by exercising basic consideration for the lives of those they would otherwise eat, and the people and animals who share our environment, vegans almost always become healthier and fitter! Karma, perhaps? Whatever the reason, being vegan can be seriously good fun, as you will discover herein!
All who subscribe to our fun and life-affirming sporting
ideals may consider themselves members of the Extreme Vegan Sporting
Association! Feel free to send in pics and clips of your sporting exploits. All
sports considered, but you've gotta be vegan! Please inquire before sending
large files. Thank you!
Forthcoming Event
Vegan 15 Peaks Challenge 2010
On June 5, 2010, a team of extremely fit (or foolish?) vegans will atempt to climb all 15 Welsh mountaints over 914 m (3,000 ft), in under 24 hours. They will cover 48 km, with nearly 4,000 m of ascent and descent, over the beautiful mountains of Snowdonia. Mountain Leadership and safety management is provided by Lupine Adventure, who will charge £115, including carbon offsetting. Travel, accommodation and food will be extra. All participants will need to complete the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge as a rehearsal on Sunday 11 April. Of 9 places on this all-vegan team, several are already gone. Register soon at http://lupineadventure.co.uk/sponsored-events/vegan-15-peak-challenge.html.
