The Sahara Race is a six-stage,
250-kilometer footrace across the Sahara Desert of Egypt. All
competitors must carry all their own food, gear and clothing
while navigating through about 25 checkpoints (CPs). The Sahara
Race is part of the 4 Deserts, a series of footraces in the
world's four largest and most forbidding deserts including the
Atacama in Chile, the Gobi in China, the Sahara in Egypt and
Antarctica. Competitors must complete the Gobi March (China),
the Atacama Crossing (Chile) and the Sahara Race (Egypt) before
qualifying for The Last Desert in Antarctica. |
