This is the long-awaited Marathon des Sables (MdS) photo post! Please enjoy this photo tour through the 2009 Marathon des Sables (And please take heart in knowing that this is, finally, my last post about this race.).
In the waning light of Tuesday’s dusk, a race official visited Tent 100 with news that Wednesday’s long stage would be 91 kilometers, 56 or so miles. It’s a part of Marathon des Sables (MdS) tradition to have a long stage, and this one would be a bit longer than usual.
As a result of the desert storm, the 2009 Marathon des Sables (MdS) became an exercise in adaptability and flexibility for race officials and runners alike.
The starting line of Marathon des Sables, or even a single stage during the race, is a sight to behold.
