Expedition Foods' reputation is continuing to grow as the meal of choice for endurance athletes. Through our partnership as Official Freeze Dried Food of RacingThePlanet's 4 Deserts Series we've got some great photos from the Gobi March 2010 - a 250km rough-country footrace which was completed on July 3, and it's great to see so many orange packets in camp!

Our high-calorie range packs the most calories into the lowest weight of any freeze-dried meal on the market, so when you're having to run across the desert carrying all your own equipment and food every extra ounce counts.

The overall winner - Dan Parr, 33 of the UK, and the ladies winner - Denvy Lo, 29 of Singapore both ate Expedition Foods for their evening meal. Denvy said that the Chicken Korma and Spaghetti Bolognese were her favourites, whilst Dan said that he'd chosen the brand based on the favourable calorie to weight ratio.

Both the winners were rookies, and it's an amazing feat to go and win one of the gruelling 4 Deserts races on the first time of trying, so huge congratulations to both competitors. Dan was raising money for Sparks , the children's medical research charity here in the UK, and Denvy was raising awareness about the over-fishing of sharks and the organisation Shark Rescue.
