Running a Marathon in Yemen (& Big 2021 News)

We arrive on Socotra Island to take part in its first marathon, despite having little training and facing a challenging route with sand, darkness, and repeated laps. We run through the night, struggle physically and mentally, and eventually finish the 42-kilometer race while reflecting on the journey and the island's welcoming people. We also announce plans to train for an ultramarathon of around 200 to 250 kilometers over five to seven days in 2021.
