They are already the heroes of the group before the departure of the race. These seven British spent the night of Friday evening in the bivouac while all the other competitors had been evacuated towards the hotels of the city of Erfoud. Very quickly, their tent was flooded and they roamed in the deserted bivouac in search of a dry place. At about 4 am in the morning, while they slept by wading in the mud, they were woke by the thunder and the flashes of lighting. An experience which considerably moved closer these men who did not know each other before this night. The next day, they were welcomed in the hotel by the applauses of the other runners, and they spent to Erfoud a quieter night as the one before: described by some of them as the most beautiful of their life. Their objective in the race? Beat the camel broom, simply. If needed with a stick.
