BEN PRIOR
Narrowly missing out on selection for Team GB in the Marathon, Ben's put the disappointment of not competing in the London Olympics behind him and is now setting his sights on the Marathon des Sables. Many people think his ambition of breaking James Cracknell's British record is a lofty one, but with his varied training schedule including shooting, pub golf and Wii Tennis, nothing is unachievable for Ben.

ANDREW PRICKETT
Rivalling the likes of Richard Branson and Lord Sugar, Andrew has mastered the business world and now sets his sites on the ultimate physical challenge, the Marathon des Sables. With a handful of solid sub-6 hour marathons under his belt this race should be a mere hurdle in his quest for the summit of the endurance world.

KIEREN UNWIN
With his movie star physique, the toils of the Sahara Desert should hold no concerns for Kieren.
