In the recent Marathon Des Sables ultra marathon in the Sahara, a local dog decided to join the 'fun' and ended up running more than 140 miles!
Renowned as one of the toughest ultra races in the world, the Marathon Des Sables takes place over a 156 mile stretch of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. This year however, the hardened runners were joined by a local canine participant.
After completing 140.7 miles, the dog which was nicknamed Cactus by the participants was awarded a finishers medal.
