The Marathon Des Sables is a 150 mile, six stage "gut check" through the Sahara Desert in Morocco. Every day brings some measure of pain. And if the pain of destroyed feet and damaged joints don't get you--the weather will. During the grueling marathon stage of the 2011 MDS, the temperature reached 120 degrees.
This story chronicles my run and how my tent mates pulled together to survive the 26th Marathon Des Sables.

    Hey there...thanks for viewing. I used a GoPro. You have to be careful, tho...the audio quailty is poor and I had to really tweak it in post.

    Good luck!

  • Awesome! what camera did you use? wondering which one to pick for this year...

  • @a13pt1runner95926

    Thanks so much, Ed! My tent mates really made the difference for me...

  • @jamesrobtonyadams

    Good luck with your training! The MDS is really a test of will and confidence...and I think marathon training will get you there. Cheers!

  • (New Years Eve 2011) I've wanted to someday run in this race ever since I first heard of it - I've decided to take up running seriously as a New Years Resolution. I'll do marathons in 2012, a couple of Iron Man Triathlons in 2013, and by 2014, hopefully I'll be ready to take this beast of a race on. Wish me luck!!

  • Just found this.. REALLY well done.. captures it perfectly.. Ed (Tent 113) Remember all of you :)

  • Awesome Sharon, really great job!! It took me right back to the desert!

    Cheers, Tristan
