After a great experience from one of our team members, Unicorn Adventures Ltd is currently considering having a team at the 2007 and/or 2008 Marathon des Sables.

The Marathon des Sables is an extreme race, it is even said to be the or one of the toughest races on earth. It takes place early April in the Morocco desert. The objective is to cover the 240 km (approx. 150 miles) distance in 7 days over 6 legs, each one with a different distance. The idea being that the first one is a warm-up of less than 30 km, then the distance gets bigger each time until day 4 and 5 with a 70 to 80 km leg followed by a Marathon, the day after and a semi-Marathon for the last day. Of course each leg is full of surprises (hills to climb, dune fields etc…).

One important point: each runner has to carry her/his own food and equipment during the whole time. The organization providing the water and the tent only.

People interested to join our team can contact us!

Keep in mind that the training should start not later than September to attend the race in April.

Registration fee should be close to 2.600 Euros (attention: this is a price set by the Marathon des Sables organisation, Unicorn Adventures will only manage to get a team together, each member being in charge of getting to Paris for the departure), including:

• Return flight from Paris
• Bus trasnfert in Morocco
• General ground assitance
• Bivouac
• Hotel (2 days)
• Water for the race duration
• Repatriation insurance France and Europe
• Technical support
• Medical assistance

• Survival kit
• Medal, tee-shirt and official film of the race
