More than 150 miles through one of the harshest deserts on Earth.
Each year in the month of April, the country of Morocco plays host to what is known to many as the world’s toughest footrace. The Marathon des Sables (Marathon of the Sands) begins in the city of Ouarzazate and continues for six days. During that time, the 1000 or so participants will be pushed to their limits as they struggle to make their way more than 150 miles through the Sahara.
