THE IDEAL WAY TO PREPARE FOR MDS!

We can't guarantee Moroccan sunshine, but we can guarantee a brilliant way to prepare for the Marathon Des Sables, the world's toughest footrace.

Our Marathon Des Sables preparation package started when our founder Neil raced MDS in 2009 but found there was no events in the UK to bring people together and help them to train and prepare. Our preparation events began in 2010 and we've since helped hundreds of people with their MDS.

MDS Package

We provide challenging yet beautiful courses and multi-day environment with all your needs covered. All you have to do is run!

Test your kit, meet others, form tent groups - all of this is a helpful way to find out what works and what doesn’t, enabling you to prepare physically and mentally for your six days of endurance. Three great events are included, the Druids Challenge, Pilgrim Challenge and our Kit Run. You save 11% booking as package, just £265 (the Kit run is free).

As with all XNRG events, expect to be totally looked after; great food, overnight accommodation, checkpoint food and water, t-shirt, finisher’s medal, prizes for the winners and free photos. We’re also to welcoming inspiring talkers for the overnights.
