Racing the Sahara

We follow four Brits as they attempt to complete what some describe as 'the toughest footrace on earth' - the Marathon des Sables, a six-day, 250km race across the Sahara Desert.

We'll follow four Brits as they attempt to complete what some describe as 'the toughest footrace on earth'.
