Extreme Energy Desert Running Package

A great way to prepare for events in the desert such as Marathon Des Sables. 

You'll enjoy, endure and get the experience you need of racing in a multi-day environment across two UK events in fantastic countryside locations included in the package.

The package consists of two of our flagship events at a combined discount rate. 

 You will benefit from savings of up to 15% on the price of these individual events.

Accommodation, food and being looked after from start to finish is all included! Find out more below.

Around 100 of the competitors from MDS 2019 trained at XNRG events!

GET DESERT READY WITH XNRG 

When you’re training for desert marathons, we know how important it is to have the opportunity to race in a way that helps you prepare physically and mentally. Whilst we can’t guarantee Moroccan sunshine, we will provide a challenging yet beautiful course and multi-day environment, with all your needs completely taken care of, so you can focus on the experience. 

You’ll get to test out your kit, meet others preparing for the MDS, make friends and form tent groups. You’ll even meet people who’ve done the race — a great way to find out what works and what doesn’t. 

The Extreme Energy MDS Package really is the perfect way to train for your six Sahara days of endurance. 

The package offers special discounted combined entry for two of our most popular events, the Druids Challenge and the Pilgrim Challenge.

As with all XNRG events, you can expect to be totally looked after; great food, overnight accommodation, checkpoint food and water, t-shirt, finisher’s medal, prizes for the winners and free photos (Phew!). We’re also really pleased to welcome inspiring talkers for the overnights.
