Chronicling the journey to prepare for and compete in the 2008 7-Day Marathon des Sables in the Moroccan Sahara. In support of ING Chances for Children and UNICEF.
Quick Facts
The Marathon des Sables is a 7-day (6-stage) running race across the Moroccan Sahara. Athletes run the 243k/151 mile course wearing backpacks that contain their food for 7 days, sleeping bag, and survival equipment. The temperature variations are extreme, with daytime temperatures soaring above 120F/48C and nighttime temps plunging to freezing. It's known as the toughest footrace on the planet.

Jeff, this must be the biggest and unbeatable victory in your life.
You did it !!
We're proud knowing you.
Hi Jeff,
I used to think that the age of adventurers and pioneers is over, though you just proved that that spirit is still alive and strong. I witnessed you training hard for the race and at the same time working hard and maintaining the punishing demands of your day job. I am in awe
Yeah, big deal. So what?; my grandmother could have done that. Oooooo, look at me; I ran 152.4 miles through the desert with full gear in 110 degree heat. Let's see you run a full 153 miles, Mister Big Man.
Seriously in awe. Knew you could do it. Congratulations. I'm not worthy.
