Upcoming Desert Races
The national deserts of Peru may be under visited and underrated, but absolutely gorgeous. Visit a coastal paradise, covered endless sand dunes and coastal beauty. Desert races are flat, and run over hard sand (most of the time). Marcona is a hidden gem, remote in the deep desert of Peru, 7 hours from Lima. Run the coast, and experience the desert, it is an unforgettable experience. For the full desert experience, try this race:
