This race is no joke. Running in the sand is way more difficult than I had anticipated, and not just because it slows you down. There is no way to keep it out of your shoes (or hair, or nose…), you sink and slide, passing is impossible along the crest of the dunes, and I definitely saw a few scorpions.

And the photos are EPIC
