RUN THE SAHARA TESTIMONIALS

“The Saharawi people were truly welcoming, the marathon was the toughest thing I have ever done but so glad I did it. The only downside to the whole thing is that I have left a great big piece of my hear in the Saharawi camps and I have a real longing to go back.” Chris Witty, 2017
People here are warm, generous and proud. Children are playful and inquisitive... The women are strong and independent and very much the matriarchs... Life is simple, but community is at the heart of it. Beccy Allen, 2016
Unforgettable mentally and physically. The camps are a fascinating place to visit. I would recommend this journey to anyone  as it definitely changes your point of view. Tomasz Laczny, 2015
There is nothing like running through the desert, the villages while being wildly cheered on with the desert call. Howzat! Alan Gignoux, 2012
It was a privilege to have been involved, to have met like-minded people, to have experienced the hospitality of the Saharawis, to see the beauty of the dunes but the desolation of the Hamada. Peter Hamilton, 2009
This was a life-changing experience for me and it will stay with me for a very long time. Victoria Bavister, 2009

The views were spectacular, especially on the run and in the dunes. The hospitality of the Saharawis was truly touching. It’s an event that anyone who likes a strong  physical challenge or who cares about the Saharawi people absolutely must attend. 2009 
Wonderful people, place and community. A week felt like a lifetime, packed with adventure and unforgettabe experiences. Fleur Hutchinson, 2010
Memorable, interesting and fun. It was stimulating to have a break that makes you pause to think about important international goings-o that you don’t necessarily think about or encounter in everyday life, as well as the physical challenge of the run. Julia Lutte (3rd in Women’s Marathon!), 2010
It will change your life, you perspective, your priorities, and it might just help to change the lives of people fighting for their fundamental rights to existence. Say no more! Nina Murray, 2010
Was it what I expected? Would I go back? Would I recommend it? More. Yes. Unreservedly! Mar Garvey, 2011
