In the morning, the sun is already raised, the air is cool and the sun send out moverless, lovely light the „10th. INTERNATNIONAL GOBI MARATHON MONGOLIA“ starts. The track is going through the probably most impressive part of the landscape including sand dunes, Mongolian dessert steppes, the world wide known famous Saxaul forest and the dinosaur excavation area. The ground is hard sand and quite good for running. Every five kilometre is a station with food and drinks, a small first medical help station, which hopefully no one would need.
