Competitor­s take part in the second stage of the 36th annual Marathon des Sables between Ouest Aguenoun n’oumerhiout and Rich Mbirika in the Sahara Desert on March 28. The six-day, 251-kilometer (156-mile) race is about six times the length of a regular marathon and is regarded as one of the toughest foot races in the world thanks to the desert’s formidable landscape and hot weather as well as the race’s lengthy stages.
