Information

The 4 deserts challenge (www.4deserts.com) The 4 Deserts is a series of four six-stage, seven-day-long rough country footraces across some of the most inhospitable deserts on Earth. Participants must carry all the food and equipment they need to live on for the seven-day event. Only a space in a tent, drinking water and a camp fire are provided (and access to a medical team). Each race is 250km long with the final race being The Last Desert, held in Antarctica. To qualify for the last race, one must have successfully completed 2 of the other 3 races.

The races are purported to take place in the hottest, coldest, windiest and driest places on earth. In 2008, TIME magazine designated the 4 Deserts Series as 2nd in it’s top 10 list of endurance competitions.

4 Deserts Race - Gobi Desert Leg 27th June 2010

No 2 of Tremaines 4 Deserts Challenge in China. The Gobi March is a unique, special experience. Deserts are stunningly beautiful because they are (1) remote and pristine and (2) sparsely populated. Solitude leads to a very spiritual experience, which no doubt it will be...
