FOX25, myfoxboston - Time magazine has called it the second most difficult endurance competition on the planet. The Sahara Race is held in the western desert of Egypt, takes seven days, and is 155 miles long in temperatures that can reach 140 degrees.

Boston resident George Chmiel explains why he's running the race.
