now you have your heelless running shoes,
how abut enrolling for this little jaunt? it is the Marathon of the Sands, also known as Sahara Marathon - or as
it is better known, Marathon des Sables, or MdS, it is a 6 day, 250 km (156 mi)
ultramarathon (equating to the distance of six normal marathons). The first
race started in 1986 after being initiated by French concert promoter Patrick
Bauer. In 2009, the longest single stage was 91 km (57 mi) long. This race is
held every year in the southern Moroccon section of the Sahara Desert. It is no
surprise to note that Moroccan men won most of the races (Men's division) with
Lahcen Ahansal winning from 1999 to 2007, his brother Mohammad winning from
2008 to 2010, then again in 2013 and Rachid El Morabity, winning in 2011 and
then consecutively from 2013 to 2018, I wonder how the heelless shoes would stand up in these conditions? that I do not know, but what I do know is that I will not be entering!
