South Africa’s most successful desert runner is a shooting star. Ryan Sandes from Capetown came out of nowhere when in 2008, he scored a start-to-finish victory at the „4 Deserts Gobi March”…  Gripmaster got to go for a run with him on Sandman’s rest day for a few hours and used the  opportunity for a sweaty interview….

Feature on Ryan in Trail Magazine


          

In 2010 my major aim /dream is to complete the 4 Desert series - I will be competing in the Atacama Desert Race (Chile) in March and then the "Last desert" (Antarctica) in November. I am also really excited to be heading off to France in mid March to attend a Salomon advance week where we will be testing out new products to be launched in 2011. I will be teaming up with Cas Van Aardenne to take part in the African X trail race in May and I also plan to compete in a number of other local trail races next year.
