A collection of quotes from participants of the Gobi Marathon.

I trained very well to run the first marathon in my life, so I was not concerned about my physical condition, only about how not to get lost inthe big Gobi Desert. Organization of the marathon helped me to run the race within on incredible time of 3 hours 42 minutes!
Thanx for your food providing and road signals. I will certainly come back to Mongolia to run other marathons to defend my position ( number 1! : - ) ).
