To some, the greatest test of endurance is the Cape Epic, a gruelling eight day, 70 km trek through South Africa that’s referred to as the Tour de France of mountain biking. Then there’s Badwater, a non-stop 135-mile run through some of the most scorching hot places on the planet. Racers have to brave the heat through Death Valley as they battle the elements, dehydration and sometimes even delirium. Yikes! Then, for the truly insane, there’s the Marathon des Sable. You know, just your typical 150 mile race…through the Sahara!
