The stage race, ultramarathon known as the Gobi March is set to begin on Sunday, and the official site claims that all the competitors and volunteers are in place at the start of the race. It's 77 degrees F there today, which means it's comfortable, but very dry. The website will be making live updates throughout the week as the race winds it's way across the 140 mile course. I'll keep you posted on any major news from the event, and who the eventual winners are. Good luck to everyone. Race safe!
