XIV BRAZILIAN NATIONAL ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP

Agulhas Negras Military Academy

August 13-15 2004

The Brazilian National Endurance Championship, in its fourteenth edition, will be held on August 13-15, in Agulhas Negras Military Academy. It will be organized by a Commission formed by the representatives of the nine main teams of the State of Rio de Janeiro, who have managed the sport in the State during the last years.

AMAN - The Academy is localized in one of Brazil's most pleasant regions. It lies underneath the majestic peaks of the Agulhas Negras mountain range - from which it derives its name - and along the banks of the Paraíba do Sul river. Not far are the quiet waters of Guanabara Bay on one side, and the rich plateau that overlooks the city of São Paulo (Brazil's economical capital) on the other.
