Toughest Foot race on Earth

The Marathon des Sables is a six-day, 251 km ultramarathon which is the equivalent of six regular marathons. This multiday is held every year in southern Morocco in the Sahara desert. It is considered the toughest foot race on Earth.

Girish Mallya is one of the many runners I follow on twitter for inspiration. He's running this tough race in Morocco from the 6th to the 12th of April. This post is to wish him good luck for his run.

Go on Girish!  We are cheering you all the way!
