FINISHING THE TOUGHEST FOOTRACE ON EARTH

Marathon des Sables, or MdS, is a six-day, 251 km ultramarathon, which is approximately the distance of six regular marathons. The longest single stage is 91 km long. This multiday race is held every year in southern Morocco, in the Sahara Desert. It has been regarded as the toughest foot race on Earth.

WHY...

After finishing 2 Ironmans, new challenge.

I am not good in speed, so finishing faster needs a lot of training over a long period of time. 

Better find something where I can suffer more and no one cares too much aboutthe finishing tine rather than the fact that you've finished it.

Why are there two camels taking part in the race?

The Camels are not an actual part of the race but the sweeper team: being overtaken by this friendly convoy unfortunately means you must drop out

HOW HARD IS THE MARATHON DES SABLES?

Heat

not streets but Sand dunes

consecutive marathons and one double leg

Self sufficient race

No comfort at all
