Could you run the sahara sands?

The Marathon des Sables (MdS) is hailed by the Discovery Channel as the "toughest footrace on earth." Participants face the gruelling challenge of completing five and a half marathons over six days, all within the extreme conditions of the Sahara Desert.

Join our team to train and embark on this unforgettable journey in Morocco. Demand for MdS places is incredibly high,  so don't miss your chance—register your interest today and secure your place in this extraordinary adventure.

Walking With The Wounded has a strong reputation at the MdS with our teams having a higher success rate of finishers than others. The team works together to support each other through the tough six days in the desert.

WWTW does a brilliant job at supporting ex-service men and women across the country. My advice to aspiring runners is to be naive enough to start and strong enough to finish.
