Events
The CHUS Foundation’s Défi sportif challenge is the perfect opportunity to rise up to your potential on several levels: an ideal project to combine passions and values, self-worth and charity, travelling and challenges... At every edition, participants go on an adventure somewhere in the world not only to tackle a sporting challenge, but also for charitable objectives.

For its 3rd edition, the Défi sportif challenge intends to bring between 10 to 20 participants to the Draa Valley in Morocco. The event will take place next October: a 10-day trek among dunes, arid plateaus, oases, and palm trees.
Although this is a sporting challenge, it is rated as accessible (level 1+). The walks of 4 to 6 hours per day obviously take place in the sand and in a desert climate with Saharan temperatures. Preparation will therefore be required and regular training between now and the start date is necessary, but you don’t need to be an elite athlete to join this journey.
Although a sports challenge, it has been rated as accessible (level 1+).

This trek in Morocco does not present any particular technical difficulties, as it is a camel trek (i.e. camels carry all the logistical equipment - participants only carry their backpacks for the day). It is an ideal journey to learn about hiking in the desert through first-hand experience.
As a result, the group’s members will double their efforts and undoubtedly remain persistent until the day before they leave to achieve their personal and fundraising goals.

At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 5, there will be a free, non-commitment briefing. The purpose of this evening is to present the challenge, the trek, and the destination as well as the details of the fundraising campaign for the CHUS Foundation. It will also explain the support provided by the Foundation and the Karavaniers in preparation for this journey.
Registration for the Défi sportif challenge will then be open and will continue until May 2, 2022.
