At the start of April 2010 Cranston Watts competed in the Marathon des Sables for SLA, an event that has been described as "the Toughest Race on Earth". Competitors battled across a 250km course on foot covering 6 stages over 6 days in the Sahara Desert including one 8271 km stage. In addition to running over the sand and dunes of the Sahara, competitors had to carry their own food, water, and kit for the race and endure temperatures as high as 50°C.
