The event is also possible for walkers. Yet 185,000 Sahrawi refugees from Western Sahara and their children have lived there every day for 25 years. How? People like you have helped by providing food, shelter and the essentials needed to sustain life. And through their determination to make this their temporary home, the Sahrawis have remarkably coaxed salt water gardens from the desert sands. The Sahara Marathon is an event to help kindle their spirit, build hope and provide some desperately needed funds for medical, educational and nutritional needs of the Sahrawi children. Runners, supporters and sponsors alike will be making a valuable contribution to these children's survival.
