Emergency contact details for our team in Morocco will be published 1 week before the event. Travel Clothes IMPORTANT! You MUST wear your outdoor clothing and shoes that you plan on wearing for the challenge on the plan in case any luggage gets lost during the journey you will at least be able to start the challenge. Download our Saharan Challenge APP! We have a new app for you to download so you have all the information on the challenge handy on your phone. All you have to do is download the Action Challenge App (Search Action Challenge in the App Store/Google Play), then enter the code: SAHARA2017. We have uploaded all the final details, maps, FAQs and soon the route GPX files, so keep checking back. PASSPORT, INSURANCE AND MEDICAL DETAILS You MUST have updated your online form with your Passport, Insurance and Medical details PRIOR to travelling.

If you are NOT a British Citizen please check the visa / passport requirements by visiting the website of your embassy in Morocco. Travel Insurance You MUST have appropriate travel insurance, and if you have not purchased this yet, you can do so through our recommended providers Campbell Irvine. Please be aware if you are travelling on an annual policy or a basic policy provided by your bank you MUST check that it covers you for a trip of this nature (ie trekking being the main activity and that helicopter evacuation is covered). Please bring a printed copy of your Policy with you. CLICK HERE to go to the Campbell Irvine website for an online quote >> Medical If you have declared any on-going medical conditions to us you may be contacted by our UK Challenge Doctor. This is so he/she can understand any details and provide the best level of support during the Challenge. You must make us aware of any new medical issues which arise prior to departure. 2 P a g e

4 ITINERARY A summary of the Challenge itinerary is set out below, with a breakdown of the distances & timings for each day. The timings for an event of this size are extremely important as it gives everyone the best chance of completing their challenge and we do expect all participants to stick to timings and instructions issued by the Event Management Team. You will need to be organised yourself - sorting your bags, and adhering to the meal time schedule; we can t jeopardise the group s challenge by waiting for individuals if they are not ready on time.

FOOD The food served on the challenge will be both nutritious and varied and ideal for an event of this nature. Please note, we will only be able to cater for dietary requirements that we have been made aware of in advance. We also recommend that you bring with you any of your favourite snacks (chocolate will probably melt!) & energy supplies to help you along the way. Electrolytes to add into your water are a great idea to ensure you stay hydrated during the challenge and you are replacing salts that you will sweat out during the day. 5 P a g e

7 THE ROUTE Our route takes us along the spectacular Drâa Valley, covering a distance of nearly two marathons past ancient mud- brick villages and fortresses, dry mountain plateaus, lush desert oases, camels and sand dunes. This will be a real test of stamina and adaptability from the start all the way to the finish line, two days later. This is no walk in the park the scenery will be awe inspiring but you will need grit and determination to complete it in challenging heat. We have both walkers and joggers/runners taking part in this challenge and we will have a 2 nd start each morning for those looking to run/jog the challenge we ask walkers that you allow those jogging/ running to pass when they are close although the trail is wide mostly. You can view the route plotted on Google Maps here: goo.gl/kmcgyq Final route GPX files are also available to download one week before the challenge. You will also be given a map as you begin the challenge and we ask that you keep this with you at all times. SAFETY ON THE ROUTE Emergency Control Procedures 1 week prior to departure we will you the Contact Details of our Event Management Team should you need to contact them during the Challenge for an emergency or for any other reason. Signage The trail will be marked with pink flags / markers where it s required. You will be required to walk in groups of 3 or more at all times, and we will have guides along the trail who can walk with if you wish. It is your responsibility to stay on the route and at times will require close attention to signage markers to ensure you are on track. Dropping Out If you need to drop out of the Challenge, do so at one of the rest stops as there will be limited vehicle coverage of the route unless in absolute emergencies. You will need to inform the rest stop team that you wish to drop out and you will then be driven to the night s campsite or hotel to rest. If you drop out on the second day of the Challenge, you will be driven to the finish line. In genuine and serious medical emergencies, if a vehicle is unable to reach you, would require a helicopter - so make sure this is covered on your insurance. Cut-Off Times Will be enforced from the lunch stops onwards on both days. You are expected to walk at a minimum pace of 4km per hour and therefore complete the first day within about 14 hours, including rest stops & lunch. If you are unable to do 6 P a g e

8 so, you may be driven forward to the next rest stop or finish. Please respect the Event Manager s decision as this is for the safety of you and the group. Your pace on the first day will determine your start time on the second day. The Heat & Your Feet! We estimate that the weather in this part of Morocco in October during the day can reach up to 30 degrees - and this presents many challenges for both your feet and also your general welfare whilst tackling a challenge of this nature. We highly recommend you wear breathable trail shoes/ trainers and that you bring at least 3 pairs of socks per day to change into. Lightweight running/ walking socks are best not thick/ heavy ones you may usually wear for trekking. Last year many underestimated the effect that the heat would have on their feet as they are likely to swell and therefore you need to ensure that your shoes have enough room in them to allow for this. Lightweight gaiters are a great idea also to prevent small stones from getting into your shoes which will cause general irritation and discomfort. You will need to stay cool during the day and hydrated heat exhaustion and sun stroke can develop quickly and are extremely serious therefore it is mandatory for all challengers to have with them a hat, a camel pack/ hydration bladder or water bottles to carry at least 2L, and sun cream of factor 30spf+. We also recommend that you bring along with you a lightweight shirt to cover your shoulders/arms. At night the temperature will drop and be much cooler so you will need to bring warm layers. First Aid Medics will be available at rest stops & walking at the back for first aid. UK Doctors will also be on hand at the rest stops, and at the overnight camp. You must bring with you your own First Aid kit in particular blister plasters and tape whilst our medics will have a full event medical kit this will be for more serious issues and you must come selfprepared. EVENT RULES Below is a selection of the main event rules / guide lines and are in place to keep all participants safe during the event You must carry a mobile phone. This is an essential part of the emergency response process. You must have your event pass on you at all times from meeting at the airport at the start of the event. All participants must remain in a minimum of groups of 3 at all times. All participants are expected to complete the entire distance each day. All participants must respect any cut-off times. Anyone who fails to respect the decision of the Management Team foregoes the right to receive services from the organiser and will bear the cost of any subsequent search and rescue. 7 P a g e

9 All participants must carry the clothing and equipment stipulated on the kit list. There will be a kit check and anyone without the correct clothing and equipment will not be allowed to start the event. Your main luggage (to travel between camps) is limited to a maximum of 15kg. All walking participants must remain behind the front marker guide and in-front of the back marker guide. All runners and joggers will not be guided, but will be expected to remain in groups of 3 as a minimum. You are responsible for carrying out and disposing of any litter (including toilet paper) in the bins at the overnight camps. All participants must have signed the medical declaration, and hold valid and appropriate Travel Insurance. DON T FORGET... Below is a quick check list to make sure you have all the key things ready for the Challenge. Money The Moroccan Dirham is officially a closed currency, so can rarely be purchased outside of the country. You can change money on arrival into the airport, or at the hotel. Credit and debit cards are accepted at most upmarket shops, restaurants and hotels - make sure you inform your bank that you plan to travel to Morocco before you leave. Clothing wear your gear that (and running/walking shoes) on the plane or have them in your carry on rucksack Kit Check & Weigh Your Bag you must have the correct kit and that your main luggage does not exceed 15kg. Important Documents Passport and copies of your Travel Insurance are both a MUST! Phone make sure your phone is unlocked and will work in Morocco before you go coverage is good.
