Marathon des Sables: Meet Cactus the dog who just ran one of the world’s toughest races.


Cactus MDS dog - that finishes running the stunning desert ultramarathon.


The hound, nicknamed Cactus, wandered onto the course on day two of the Marathon des Sables in Morocco.

He began following competitors in the 251-kilometre, six-day endurance race in the sweltering Sahara Desert.


 ‘Cactus’ finished the second stage, then the third and fourth. Organisers tweeted on Friday to say he had crossed the finishing line.

Runners welcomed their four-legged competitor and cheered him on as he trudged with them on his self-inflicted jaunt.

He also rested with them and ate and drank in their company.
