The Sunrise Marathon, Gran Canaria
Marathon # 511
Maspalomas Dunes Marathon # 75
Date: August 23, 2025
My Time: 6:08:53
By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo
I set off at dawn to experience the sunrise on Playa del Inglés Beach, completed the marathon and took a few hours break. Then I walked 9 km in the evening: I first headed to the beach to join my wife Gisele Diallo, and our friends Raihanatou Bah and Aliou Bah. We later went together to the preferred Maspalomas Dunes viewpoint to watch the sunset. So I ended up doing an ultramarathon (51 km).
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
