Story

151 miles across the Sahara desert for cancer research.

The run was in Morocco over 6 stages and traveled through the toughest terrain possible. Day temps did peak at 52c.

The race built in stages up to a 52 mile overnight Marathon on stage 4, in total i ran 5 1/2 marathons carrying all my kit.

My overall position was 192 out of 800 plus finishers.

please visit my web site www.charitysahararun.co.uk and to see full results and race details viist www.darbaroud.com this also has pics and videos.

The reason for doing this event is having lost my sister to cancer, I am looking to raise money for cancer research to helps others.
