We are taking everything for them. We have 3 4x4 and a guide in his pickup. For 5 runners and 6 people of support we need 500L of water. 4days of running, 7days total in the desert.
The Marathon des Sables has some parts in soft sand. We will have a real dune challenge all the way.
In dunes of soft sand walking towards your mate car to unbog it is hard.
Running in those conditions for 4 consecutive days from down till dusk requires great mental strenght.
