About Running The SAHARA: Running the Sahara is a documentary feature film that chronicles the incredible true story of Ray Zahab, Charlie Engle, and Kevin Lin who attemped to run across the entire Sahara desert. They traveled a total of 6,920 killometers (about 4300 miles) reaching the Red Sea on February 20, 2007. Over their quest, the runners learned that it was necessary for them and their team to avoid fighting against the elements served up by the Sahara, because the immeasurable power of the continent will always win out. Instead, they learned how to adapt to their climate and surroundings as best they could, in order to make the steady progress that each of the 111 days required of their minds and bodies. The Running the Sahara documentary explores the physical and emotional impact of this tremendous test of strength and determination. The film will allow us to relive the runners' life-changing experience as we watch them brave the elements in one of the most extreme environments on Earth and meet the unique people of the Sahara, struggling with immense daily challenges. Running the Sahara is a documentary in the truest sense: The director and his crew documented the expedition, observing without interfering or influencing it in any way.

Producers Marc Joubert, Keith Quinn, Larry Tanz and director James Moll filmed on location in Africa across six countries: Senegal, Mauitania, Mali, Niger, Libya, and Egypt.

Prepare2go.com supported the film crew with the logistics throughout.
