Running the Sahara

On February 20, Charlie Engle, North Carolina ’84, and two other endurance runners touched the Red Sea, just a few hours before sunset. Their quest had lasted 111 days and taken them through 6 countries: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya, and Egypt. By the team’s daily GPS record, they had traveled over 4,300 miles (6,920 kilometers). They fought through injury and extreme fatigue to reach their goal, which changed them forever and required a Sound Mind and Sound Body to endure the climate of the Sahara.
