So, we’re bringing back a powerful episode that dives into the race’s wild origin story, harrowing survival tales, and the inspiring legacy of athletes like Duncan Slater, the first double amputee to finish the race. This episode covers the 150-mile trek through Morocco’s Sahara Desert and the runners who push beyond every imaginable limit, from bat blood and sandstorms to stories of resilience and redemption. Whether you’re a runner, a thrill-seeker, or just someone fascinated by extreme human feats—this story is for you. Press play and enter the desert! Hosts: Kavitha A.
