A DOCTOR who has twice completed the Marathon des Sables has vowed he will never again tackle the event billed as ‘the toughest footrace on earth’.
Dr Steve Evans, a consultant at the Medical Specialist Group, returned yesterday from the gruelling 156-mile marathon across the Moroccan Sahara.
He was raising money for Hope for Guernsey, for which he has collected more than £25,000 through a series of challenges.
‘It was hot,’ said the 45-year-old.
