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've got some lifelong friends from doing the race and it was amazing doing it as part of team WWTW. I share this medal with them, thank you!"

Sean Clark

2021 and 2022 participant, speaking about the Marathon des Sables 2022

“WWTW does a brilliant job at supporting ex-service men and women across the country. I’m passionate about the charity and have enjoyed the whole experience, even the fundraising! My advice to aspiring runners is to be naïve enough to start and strong enough to finish. Just sign up and go for it, opportunities like these don't come around very often.”

“First and foremost, I was looking forward to the challenge because it's such an iconic race and is widely referred to in the ultra community. It meant a huge deal to undertake the race for a military charity as I'm a serving soldier and it was my opportunity to try and give something back to those that have served. A fabulous experience!”

“Running for WWTW was the main motivation, as an ex-Royal Navy man I had that affiliation to the cause. The ethos of the charity and my fundraising efforts were about service and giving back and I kept hammering that fundraising message. Even though it was brutally hot, it was all about the medal and we finished together.”
