The Marathon des Sables

The Marathon des Sables (MdS) is a 6 day endurance race across the Sahara Desert. It is well known for being the "Toughest Foot Race on Earth" and was the brainchild of Patrick Bauer. The race was first run in 1986 and its popularity, not to mention its reputation, has grown year on year.
