Marathon Des Sables \u2013 What Is It?<\/h2>\n

The Marathon Des Sables is renowned as the hardest foot race on earth and 2022 sees its 36th annual event this year. Taking place in southern Morocco between 25th March \u2013 4th April, the average temperatures range from 30\u00b0C during the day and 14\u00b0C during the night. The sun plus the heat together with the sand dunes creates a gruelling environment ready to test every participant.<\/p>\n

Around 1200 people gather for this event from around the world and tackle extreme conditions to undertake the ultimate test of physical endurance and mental resilience. The ultramarathon is open to runner and walkers, with several different stages to the route and food self-sufficiency over 250km, equivalent to 6 marathons.<\/p>\n
