156 miles, 50° heat, 10kg pack, 1,331 starters... fewer finishers
Marathon des Sables, or MdS, is a six-day, 250 km ultra-marathon, which is approximately the distance of six regular marathons. The longest single stage during this effort was 92km. This multi-day race is held every year in southern Morocco, in the Sahara Desert. It has been called the toughest foot race on Earth.
This is how it went for me.
