FAQ
Who is this trip for?
For all types of people, of any age who have a minimum physical condition to run at their own pace between 30 and 40Km (CHALLENGE variant participants) or between 15 and 20 Km (DISCOVERY variant participants). The DISCOVERY version could be done by walking if the person walks at a light pace.
Is it very difficult technically?
There is no technical difficulty beyond the distances, the frequent walking on soft sand in dunes and the heat and the need for hydration.
Can it be done walking?
No… and yes. It is not possible for people to come who want to do the traverse walking 100% at the CHALLENGE level (too many hours and it spoils the spirit of this variant). At the DISCOVERY level, it could be done by walking if the person walks at a light pace. After all, it is not a competition and, logically, during the stage each person will run or walk as he/she sees fit and according to the terrain.
Is a good physical preparation needed?
A minimum physical condition is required to cover a distance walking and running for 4 days, depending on the variant in which you are going to participate. The rhythm can be smooth and adapted to each person, but the better physical condition, the more you recover each day and the more you enjoy each stage.
