1.Extreme Sports Desert Marathon
Even four or five hours of continuous running on urban roads with beautiful environment, flat terrain and pleasant climate is not a small challenge for most people, let alone a week-long trek in the hot, arid, and extremely harsh Sahara Desert. . The Sahara Desert Marathon (Marathon des Sables, MDS for short) is an ultra-marathon event held in the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco, usually held in April every year. The race lasts for 7 days and the total distance is about 250 kilometers, which is equivalent to 6 traditional marathons. The Sahara Desert during the competition has entered a hot summer, with an average daytime temperature of 30°C and a high of 40°C at noon. The terrain is very harsh, with only a small amount of sand dunes, most of which are Gobi Desert with gravel and even rock-lined hillsides. Contestants also need to bring equipment on the road, including food, medicine, water, tents, etc., with an average load of 10 kilograms.
2.Desert sandboarding for extreme sports
Sandboarding, that is, riding a skateboard to naturally slide down from the high sand top. The skateboard is made of wood, bamboo, plastic and other materials. Sit on the sandboarding board with both hands on the board wall, feet on the front edge, and the body slightly forward. As the slope of the sand mountain increased and the sliding speed increased, I felt the wind in my ears, and rushed down the mountain in a blink of an eye. I felt the excitement and pleasure in a moment of shock.
3.Desert off-road for extreme sports
Off-road Holy Land, Alxa. The desert off-road place is called Alxa. The Alxa Desert in Inner Mongolia, the most famous off-road holy land in China, is 1,400 kilometers west from the Hexigten prairie. At the other end of Inner Mongolia, the grassland has been replaced by yellow sand. As the second largest desert in China and the fourth largest desert in the world, the Alxa Desert is located here. The Alxa Desert mainly includes three small deserts, Tengger, Ulan Bu and Badain Jaran. Compared with Taklimakan, the largest desert in China, the transportation and supporting facilities here are more convenient, so it attracts more off-road enthusiasts to gather here.
