It's one of the most iconic endurance stage races on the planet - and it's less than two months away.
The 36th Marathon des Sables begins on March 27 in the Moroccan Sahara Desert. The first of seven days of trekking across the sand in baking temperatures.
Many Sandbaggers have conquered this gruelling challenge - and most have done so wearing our patented Desert Gaiters, which offer 100% protection from sand entering runners' shoes.
As one of the wold's leading ultra-runners - Scotland's Dr Andrew Murray - says: "Nothing will scupper your performance on a desert run more than having trashed feet.
"Having raced and won in deserts all over the world, I know from first-hand experience how important keeping sand out of your shoes is.
"There is only one gaiter which can, in my experience, guarantee this and this is the only gaiter I would ever consider using.
"Made in Scotland, the Sandbaggers gaiters are simply world class and I heartily recommend them."
We sell gaiters ready for fitting, but also provide a fitting service as a correct fit is essential.

Exhausted but exhilarated, our Rat Race Trans Andean Coast to Coast cyclists finally reach the finish line after more than 1500km in the saddle.
The amazing journey from Chile's Pacific coast to Buenos Aires on Argentina's Atlantic coast was gruelling at times, but magnificent throughout.
Well done all - an amazing achievement!

Great to see TV presenter and GB age group triathlete Louise Minchin enjoying the Rat Race Trans Andean Coast to Coast Cycle, which Sandbaggers is helping to deliver.

The group are now nearing the end of this gruelling but exhilarating 1500km cycle from Chile's Pacific Coast to Buenos Aires, on Argentina's Atlantic coast.
