The OMD, changed my perspective on ultra-marathon running for the better. The desert is magical and beautiful, but will test you mentally and physically to your limit, but you will be a better person from it. The OMD event should be on every runner’s calendar.
ODM meant for us as a father and son much more than a race, it was an adventure, a journey through a spectacular landscape in the endless Omani dunes. It allowed us to know each other even more, to help each other in the hard moments of running a race of such magnitude, to enjoy a week in which all that mattered was the companionship and the motivation to enjoy one of the toughest trail running races of the world. Thanks to ODM for allowing us to run for a spectacular race in the desert while enjoying its landscape, it´s people and it’s amazing culture.
ODM made me realise that you can really achieve anything you put your mind to. That running is actually a team sport and that I would not have been able to do it without my team mates TENT 7. ODM brings people together, you share the same pain and the same joy. Definitely the most challenging yet most rewarding thing I have ever done.
