Moroccan Trivia #43

The View from Fez is in debt to a twitter from zest4travel for the following trivia.

Medical statistics from the Marathon des Sables in Morocco: number of treatments: 4394, diarrhoea tablets administered: 3200; bandage used: 1.8 km!

For those of you with no experience of the race here in a nutshell is the crunch, it is 6 day / 151 mile (243km) endurance race across the Sahara Desert.It is not for the faint hearted. But if you are feeling desperately masochistic then the next Marathon des Sables is scheduled for March/April 2010.

However, before you send off your application to enter - do watch the video. It may change your mind!
