The
Marathon de Sables is widely recognized as the world's toughest
footrace. Its translation literally means 'Marathon of the Sands'
and it's both a name and reputation that is well deserved. For seven
days competitors from all over the world will attempt to run over
151 miles (nearly 250kms) across some of the hardest, difficult
and inhospitable terrain on the planet. - The Sahara Desert. Running
the equivalent of a marathon a day, the rules state that all competitors
must complete the race 'self-sufficient' meaning that all food and
equipment needed for the entire duration of the race must be carried
while running. Add to that temperatures in excess of 120 degrees,
violent dust-storms, freezing nights and large scorpions and you
may ask who in their right mind would even think of competing in
such an event? It was a question I had asked myself many times.
This is what happened….
