Pierre’s 2023 Marathon Des Sables bid

The Marathon Des Sables is billed as the toughest footrace on earth. A six day, 251km ultramarathon, comprising the equivalent of 6 regular marathons, the MDS is set in the Sahara Desert, Morocco covering sand dunes and maddeningly tricky sandy terrain, in absolutely blistering heat.

But Profeet ambassador, Pierre, is no stranger to this race having completed the event in 2021 achieving an amazing 9th place overall. This despite higher temperatures than usual topping a life-threatening 56˚C, which led to the highest drop-out rate ever seen in the race. A sure testament to Pierre’s powers of endurance and peak fitness levels.

The Marathon Des Sables 2023

From April 21st to May 1st, this year, Pierre will again be attempting the Marathon Des Sables, but this time as part of a team, a slightly different approach to the race.
