Welcome to the Saharan Prints blog.
There are four of us (Neil Talbott, Jonathon Davies, Chris Ingram and Simon
Knight) and we are soon to set off on one of the biggest challenges of our lives - competing in the Marathon des Sables.The MdS is a 6 day race covering 151 miles (243km). Think running a marathon a
day for 6 days (but on one day you do two of them - next day off). Add
to that carrying all the food, clothing etc you will need (water and
tent space will be provided). If that doesn't sound fun enough - make it
in the Sahara with heat of up to 45-50C and some of the race run over
sand dunes. Yeah I am not looking forward to it either!
We have all been training hard over the last 9 months (or longer) - running what seems like every spare hour!
It all starts on the 4th April when we fly out to Morocco with the race starting on the 7th. Anyway enough for now - if you haven't already please head over and Sponsor Us
