About
A self-supported six-stage ultra across the Sahara Desert in Morocco, covering approximately 250km over six days in temperatures exceeding 40°C. Competitors carry their own food and shelter through scorching dunes, rocky plateaus, and dry riverbeds, making it as much a logistical challenge as an athletic feat. First held in 1986, it is the world's most famous desert stage race.
