Marathon des Sables

Huge shout out to Mark Foster and Nicola Burney-Gunn who just completed the Marathon des Sables, a six-day, 250km ultramarathon, which is approximately the distance of six regular marathons. This multiday race is held every year in southern Morocco, in the Sahara Desert, with the longest single stage being 91 km long.

Here is them showing off their medals gained after enduring heat, sandstorms, mountainous terrain, blinding sun, cold desert nights and many many miles.

Well done to both of them
