  so far as i know, all us ultra runners that have completed both marathon des sables and BADWATER in DEATH VALLEY all have agreed the badwater is the hardest, hottest, lowest and highest 150 miler on earth. they are both very unique races and belong in a league of there own. ill never forget these races and rate them in my top 10

  Wow! What an extraordinary documentary...and race! I was transfixed. I am inspired to re-dedicate myself to running. I wonder what runners have repeated the race since the documentary. What have the runners featured in this doc done since it was released? Does anyone know?

  Hi Less! This goes down as one of my most favorite races and moments in my life. Thank you for being part of it all. I to would like to pay tribute to Tom Zannes. Tom was always full of joy when I saw him in the desert...love for his family and love of his job. I know he is so missed, one day we will all be together again. Thanks for all you do for others.

  I want to pay tribute to one of our cameramen on "The Marathon of the Sands," the late Tom Zannes, who hiked seven kilometers into the highest sand dunes in the Sahara, in 120-degree heat, to meet the runners as they came through the middle of what must be the toughest terrain in the world for an ultra-marathon. Tom was a magnificent guy. He died of cancer in 2006. We miss him.
