Danny Bobrow from Chicago, IL (6/23/2010) "Well supported and as hard as you want it to be" (about: 2010) 6-10 previous marathons \| 1 Marathon des Sables COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 1 I ran, actually began trekking, a conservative race. As it progressed, I realized what I could reasonably demand of my body, and improved steadily. Key is to keep hydrated, nourished, rested, and moving.
Jack Lyons from Paris France (1/1/2009) "The ultimate event" (about: 2008) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Marathon des Sables COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 An out-of-this-world experience! The organization was flawless. It was a very soul-searching experience - just you against you, in the desert. Running for five hours solid the first day was no problems, with the beautiful scenery. Day two, however, was tough; my feet were bad from the dunes, and the days that followed were painful. Still, a wonderful experience. A must-do!!
William Deer from London (12/13/2004) "Sensational. If you want it, it's yours!" (about: 2003) 4-5 previous marathons \| 1 Marathon des Sables COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 The Marathon des Sables is the most amazing experience. If you want it, you can do it! Give it a go!
A Runner from London (6/25/2001) "Fantastic event" (General Comments) COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 A once in a lifetime opportunity. Nothing like it in the world.
