The Atacama desert is regarded as the driest place on earth, with temperatures daily in excess of 40C. In March 2010, Richard Cheetham attempted to race across it for charity – six marathons in six days in what is ranked by TIME Magazine as the world’s second toughest endurance race. Plagued by intense heat, altitude sickness, inhospitable terrain, water shortage and the inevitable blisters, this is his story of the race, and the battle to even get to the start as earthquakes made travel to Chile near-impossible.
