I would nominate the team of Charlie Engle, Ray Zahab, and Kevin Lin. Last year, they ran across the Sahara Desert in 111 days straight. It was like running two marathons a day, 4,300 miles (6,920 kilometers) total, no days off.



They ran from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea through six countries. Yes, in the desert.

They would each have my nomination.
