Marathon Marc 2026

Running 270km across the Sahara for St. Lawrence Primary School
 
In April 2026, I will be taking on the 40th Edition of the Marathon des Sables — known as the toughest footrace on Earth.
 
Over six days, I’ll cover 270km across the Sahara Desert, including a gruelling 100km long stage, carrying all my own food and equipment in extreme heat.
 
I’m using this challenge to raise funds for St. Lawrence Primary School through The Friends of St. Lawrence, the school’s charity. The money raised will help provide enrichment activities, resources, and experiences that make a real difference to the children’s education and school life.
 
I’d be hugely grateful for your support — whether through a donation, sharing this page, or simply cheering me on along the way.
 
Thank you,
Marc Lockwood
