A massive shout out and very well done to our very own Tracey Murphy who completed the Marathon Des Sables at the weekend. Tracey finished the 6 day, 151 mile race in 204th position overall, and 12th female. Described as the toughest footrace on earth, competitors have to carry everything they will need for the duration (except tent) on their backs. Mid day temperatures reach 120°F and the running or walking is on uneven rocky, stony ground as well as 15-20% of the distance being in sand dunes! Tracey was raising funds for the Motor Neurone Disease charity.
