Conor Dunne takes on the legendary Atlas Mountain Race, a self-supported 1,440km journey through the stunning and unforgiving terrain of Morocco. From snow-covered mountain passes above 2,000 meters to the blistering heat of the desert, this race tests every limit of physical and mental endurance. Watch as Conor navigates technical mechanicals, extreme weather, and the difficult reality of knowing when to push through and when to listen to your body.
