Event Details
"There are races. And there are adventures that change your life."
Since 1986, the MDS (MARATHON DES SABLES) has taken participants far beyond a simple race.With 6 destinations and 7 formats, the MDS offers around ten events every year across the globe. From the Moroccan Sahara to the wild coasts of Namibia and to the mystical deserts of Jordan, each experience is a unique adventure where pushing your limits meets the discovery of extraordinary landscapes.
The MDS is more than just a sporting challenge: it’s a human adventure.
Through the heat, the wind, the sand and the endless kilometers, you discover a strength you never knew you had. You share tents, meals, laughter, doubts and victories. You meet women and men from all over the world, each with their own story, dreams and struggles, and often you leave with friends for life.
