This is a six-stage race across the Sahara in Morocco, about 250 km in total, which you run or walk while fully self-sufficient. The organiser provides water, and you sleep in bivouac camps. The longest stage is around 80 to 90 km, with a rest day after it. Exact stage distances appear in the road book you receive at the bivouac two days before the start. The whole programme takes 11 days, nine of them in the desert.
