They ran from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea through six countries. Yes, in the desert.
They would each have my nomination.

I can see that, and they are most deserving, but wouldn't you say that would count more for a greatest accomplishment? And are they technically athletes? What sport do they professionally compete in and receive compensation and salary for? Have they demonstrated past and continued contributions to that said sport? Are they the best in their respective professions?
Ponder on those questions, because I am sure those are all prerequisites for a nomination of your best athlete.
