MARATHON DES SABLES

You'd better get yourself to Morocco in a hurry. It's about to start.

Try to keep up with Michael Wardian if you can.

i know, its during end march-begin April. Better get going!

A 6 day self sufficiency race, do you have to carry everything then? Also do you have to navigate or is the course set? Any idea of costs?

I read about the Ahansal brothers who have won it for the past decade or so!

You have to carry everything for the entire race; they only provide a tent at the end of the stages and water at the aid stations.

According to what I read, typical total costs to race including entry, travel, etc, are over $5000.

Thanks guys
