Runners must train hard, because running on sand is very demanding on the human body. A difficult portion of the race is Hvide Sande, the sand here feels like deep snow. The timelimit for the marathon is 7 hours.

The arrangers invited Lance Armstrong to participate in the 2007 event, but he decided to turn down the offer.
