The desert is like a box of chocolates: you know it's going to be tough, but you always go back! ๐ซ
Prepare your water bottles and your sunscreen, we're taking you to Chad for the very first edition of the Treg Borkou Trail ! ๐น๐ฉ This is not just a simple health walk, but an ultra-trail that takes place over several days, right in the middle of February ๐๏ธ. Starting from Ndjamena, three XXL formats are available to you: a 50 km, a 100 km or the monstrous 200 km for runners who fear nothing, not even mirages ๐โโ๏ธ.
As for the terrain, expect a radical immersion in the raw beauty of the Borkou. We are far from the beaten paths of European forests; here, you will snake between the dunes and the millennial rock formations. ๐ต It's a setting worthy of Star Wars (the real one, where you feel the sand between your teeth), where every step takes you closer to infinity. ๐ Expertise here is about managing effort in the face of vastness: the desert does not forgive too fast starts, so keep an eye on your heart rate ๐.
The atmosphere promises to be electric for this baptism of fire ๐ฅ. We are not here to break speed records on tracks, but to live an extraordinary human experience ๐ค. Once you cross the finish line (and empty the sand from your shoes ๐), Ndjamena welcomes you with open arms. We advise you to take a tour of the National Museum of Chad to understand where you've set foot, or to stroll by the Chari River to finally see some water! ๐ For the more motivated, the Zakouma National Park is a royal stop for a post-race safari ๐.
So, ready to become the Lawrence of Arabia of running and finish this adventure just before Valentine's Day? ๐น
The trip is organized from February 4, 2028, to February 13, 2028.
For this race, you will have 3 non-stop race formats in the desert:
200 km
100 km
50 km
