Top 10 Endurance Competitions
This year's 24 Hours of Le Mans saw automaker Audi finish in first, second, and third place. TIME looks at other notable tests of human stamina.
Why trek for hundreds of miles across one desert when you can do so across four? The Four Deserts ultramarathon (also known as the RacingThePlanet competition), involves a six-day, 150-mile walk across each of the following: the Gobi, the Sahara, and the Atacama in Chile. Only by completing those three can participants take part in the final stage, a walk across Antarctica known as the Last Desert competition. And yes, Antarctica, with negligible annual rainfall, is considered a desert.
This year's remaining schedule is as follows:
Gobi March, June 27
Sahara Race, Oct. 3
The Last Desert, Nov. 17
