The Marathon des Sables has been postponed due to coronavirus

Marathon Des Sables: Communicate. Dear competitor:

As a precaution, we prefer to anticipate and assume our responsibilities. Therefore, we inform you today that this edition is postponed until the 35th period from September 18 to 28, 2020.
We understand that the postponement of this edition can be very complicated for each and every one of you. However, unfortunately it seems inevitable to us to make this decision one month after the initial departure for the well-being of all and for the pleasure that we want to keep within the MDS family.
Know that this situation affects us all, but we will see each other in a few months to celebrate this anniversary edition in the best conditions.
Thank you for your understanding and see you soon under the stars!
