Thank you for joining us for a special screening of the documentary film Running The Sahara that took place on June 9th at Starcite Hull. Proceeds from ticket sales went to support the Ryan’s Well Foundation and its mission to bring clean drinking water and sanitation to Africa.

The screening was a total success and was completely sold out. We are hoping to have another screening later in the summer, please stay tuned for more information.

Directed by Academy Award winner James Moll, and narrated by Matt Damon- the film chronicles the attempt of three runners- including Canadian Ray Zahab- as they attempt to run across the entire Sahara Desert in 111 dayswithout a single day of rest. Take this extraordinary journey across Africa- with its message of hope and inspiration.

 
 

In January 2009 Ray Zahab, Richard Weber and Kevin Vallely broke the world record for an unsupported team trek from Hercules Inlet to the Geographic South Pole; a distance of over 1,100km. In the process, Ray became the first person to complete the route using only snowshoes and without the use of skis.


The team updated the interactive SouthPoleQuest.com website daily, adding photos and answering questions from students all over North America. Thousands of students followed the expedition as it happened live.





 
 

Starting May 11th, 2008, Ray Zahab and a team of runners set off to run 80 kilometres a day for 13 days straight – through 13 provinces and territories - in an effort to inspire youth and raise awareness for the ONEXONE foundation!


From running with 10,000 students in Saskatoon to meeting with Assembly of First Nations Chief Phil Fontaine, the journey was both inspirational and effective in elevating awareness for ONEXONE.


impossible2Possible - an organization founded by Ray Zahab - organized and planned the expeditions.

On November 1, 2006 Ray and two other runners set out on an epic expedition to cross the Sahara Desert by foot. One hundred and eleven days after leaving the coast of Senegal they completed their 7,500km run by dipping their toes into the Red Sea and raising the bar of all that we consider possible. The epic expedition had the trio running an average of 70km’s a day, without a single day of rest. The documentary film about the expedition, Running The Sahara, will be released in effort to raise awareness of the water crisis in Africa.
