RacingThePlanet / 4 Deserts Blogs
Blogs are a way to read exciting first-hand accounts written live from the Cybertent during each race as well as about the preparation leading up to the race and the lessons learned afterwards. Write you own blog to keep a record of your preparation, and keep your friends and family updated each day during the race.
There are many thousands of blog entries from more than sixty races since 2003. If your search criteria is very wide then it may take a little bit of time for the search to take place and the results to show.
A Special Edition race was held in the country of Georgia in 2022 as the Gobi March could not take place due to travel restrictions. The Gobi March 2022 blogs below are for Special Edition: Georgia 2022.
