The 494 Marathon Des Sables Team
In April 2005 four members of 33 Engineer Regiment (EOD) will enter the Marathon Des Sables. This race has gained a reputation as the toughest of endurance challenges in the most inhospitable of conditions. The team will spend six gruelling days of long distance running in the blistering heat of the Sahara Desert, running the equivalent of two full ‘normal’ marathons on one of the days.
