Lancers Take on The Toughest Footrace on Earth

It's known as the toughest race on earth by foot. 
 
The Marathon des Sables is made up of five and a half consecutive runs across a formidable landscape in one of the world's most inhospitable climates. 
 
And this year a group from the 9th/12th Lancers will travel to Morocco to take on the gruelling desert race. 
 
Our reporter Hannah King went to meet them to find out what's on their running playlists.
