2023 Edition

For its 4th edition, the Défi sportif intends to bring between 10 and 20 participants to the Drâa Valley in Morocco. The event will be held next October for a 10-day trip among dunes, arid plateaus, oases and palm groves...

Although it is a sporting challenge, it is rated accessible (level 1+). The hikes of 4 to 6 hours per day, are obviously done in the sand and under a desert climate with Saharan temperatures: a preparation will be required and a regular training between now and the departure is necessary, but no need to be an elite athlete to join this journey.

Indeed, this trek in Morocco does not present any particular technical difficulties, insofar as it is a camel excursion (the pack dromedaries carry all the logistic material - the participants only carry their backpack of the day). It is the ideal trip to discover and learn about desert hiking.

Cost of trip: approx. $2,850 + airfare (approx. $1,000 - $1,500)

Each participant must also do a socio-financing campaign and raise $3,000 in donations for the CHUS Foundation.
