Runner’s World: Marathon des Sables

Posted: June, 28th, 2010

Check out my Port­fo­lio page. I just added a clip from July’s Runner’s World. I’ve had a few projects with Runner’s World lately, but this was by far the most excit­ing. It was one of those arti­cles where there were enough great side-stories that I could have gone on inter­view­ing rac­ers for months.

Every year about a thou­sand runner’s run, walk, and stum­ble 150 miles across Morocco’s Sahara Dessert. Amaz­ingly, more than 90% of rac­ers fin­ish. They deal with every­thing from near-debilitating blis­ters to scor­pion bites, but can’t seem to get enough of the race. Take a read for yourself.
