4 Deserts - Race the Planet Series
The 4 Deserts is a series of four six-stage, seven-day-long ultramarathons across some of the most inhospitable deserts on Earth. Participants must carry all their own food and equipment that they will live on for the seven-day event. Only a tent and water is provided. Each race is 250km with the final race being The Last Desert, held in Antarctica. To qualify for the last race, one must have completed 2 of the 3 other races in the time allowed.
RacingThePlanet is a unique category of rough country footraces that take place over seven days and some 250 kilometers in remote and culturally rich locations around the world. Competitors must carry all their own equipment and food, are only provided with water and a place in a tent each day but are supported by professional medical and operations teams. RacingThePlanet is international; the events typically involve competitors from over 20 different countries who are able to mingle around the campfires and in their geographically mixed tents. Currently the events consist of the 4 Deserts, a series which encompasses the Gobi Desert in China, the Atacama Desert of Chile, the Sahara Desert in Egypt and Antarctica, and a fifth event which roves to a new location each year.
