Some pictures from the Sahara Marathon 2025 before

Some pictures from the Sahara Marathon 2025 before during and just after. Everyone completed the race they had hoped to do. We were all very exhausted and very elated at the end of it.

Our team took a visit to the Laayoune refugee camp

Our team took a visit to the Laayoune refugee camp, where the Growing Hope project is based.

We saw the trees that we helped to fundraise for last Christmas, ready to be planted. 🌲

The trees are to be planted around the vegetable growing project, to protect the crops and the polytunnel from the harsh winds and sun.

It is so great to see the extremely hard work of the project paying off!

The banner in the photo reads “BUY VEGETABLE FOR HOST FAMILY”

We are so close to achieving our target of raising £3500 to support the ventures of the Growing Hope vegetable project in the Laayoune refugee camp. To donate, go to our gofundme page via the link in the bio.

Took us a little longer to get through customs in Madrid with all this delicious food that we had to declare! 🫑 🍅 🍆

Here we have a homegrown tomato, bell pepper and an aubergine, making their way overseas to the Sahara Desert to run this year’s Sahara Marathon! 🥇

And what a pleasure to meet up with Brahim Breh, who organises the @saharamarathon! 🏃‍♂️

Each of these people have travelled from the UK to the Sahara desert to complete their own goal and raise awareness and money of the Western Sahara Support Group. 🇪🇭

As well as taking part in the marathon, they will also be staying with host families and visiting the Growing Hope project in the Laayoune camp, to see first hand the impact that your money and continued support has had on enabling this project to continue to flourish. 🍅
