The planet toughest foot race

Marathon Des sables

It’s taking place the “toughest foot race” on the planet: the Marathon des Sables. The MDS is a multi-day event through 150 miles of the Sahara. Runners are largely self-sufficient (although organisers do stick up a shelter and give you water rations) and it’s a massive challenge in terms of physical and mental strength.
