The event in a few words

Set course for Morocco, from the foothills of the Atlas to the edges of the Saharan desert 🇲🇦. The program invites you to an absolute myth of global ultra-endurance: the legendary Škoda Titan Desert Morocco. This stage race is out of the ordinary: around 600 kilometers to cover in 6 exhausting days, with stages often exceeding 100 km. Your body will have to acclimatize to temperatures sometimes flirting with 40 degrees, face gigantic dried-up wadis, and battle the dreaded sections of soft sand in hopes of earning the precious stone trophy (the famous fossil) of the finisher ! 🧭

The path of sand, dust, and golden dunes throws you into a setting worthy of the greatest exploration tales. Your effort will take you through majestic desert expanses, crossing lush palm groves in the midst of a mirage and immense red-stone canyons. The immersion becomes total (and sometimes brutal) when you have to dismount to push your machine through vertiginous dunes, relying only on your GPS and your instinct to find the shortest line. You’ll get the dizzying feeling of being tiny against the immensity of the desert, carried by a primal survival instinct 🐪.

Adrenaline saturates the dry air from sunrise within the camp, bringing together hundreds of "Titans". Forget the sanitized comfort of the coastal hotels—here, the soul of the event lies in the giant bivouac made up of haimas (traditional Berber tents) where you sleep directly on the ground. Solidarity between riders is vital when mechanics suffer or water runs low, and an atmosphere of absolute communion welcomes you under the final arch, where tears of fatigue end up mixing with the desert dust 🏅.

Save one last hint of energy to honor wonderful Moroccan hospitality once your bike (and your lungs) have been rid of their kilos of sand. Carry your battered body to the heart of the bivouac to devour an authentic chicken tagine with preserved lemons or a hearty couscous with seven vegetables to top up on carbs. Switch on your GPS and come write your legend in the sands of the Sahara! 💥
