What do our partners think?

"The long stage is the big stage of MDS Legendary that everyone is frightened of. In the middle of the night on the long stage, people find out exactly who they are and what they’re made of!"

Testimonials from our supporters

More testimonials

"The Marathon des Sables has been one of the most challenging personal goals I have ever set. Completing it after 3 years of training and 2 attempts is an inexplicable feeling. I owe my success in part to the WWTW team, my tent mates from both years, the head office staff and all the other WWTW team members that sent me messages of encouragement throughout the event."
