The long run home: Inma Zanoguera set for Sahara Marathon

Inma Zanoguera isn’t sure what she’ll get out her first marathon.

Michigan forces Toledo's Inma Zanoguera to lose the ball during 2nd round of the WNIT tournament at the University of Toledo's Savage Arena in Toledo, Ohio.

The former University of Toledo basketball player has eagerly awaited this moment, and now it’s just days away. Though she’s returned to UT for graduate school, she has tirelessly trained since the summer. Once she was sure she would run, she even had the marathon’s logo tattooed into her left arm.

But she’s not just passionate because it’s a challenge — it will be unmistakably challenging, especially given that the race is in the Sahara Desert.
