Description
Run or Tab 110km through the Moroccan desert in aid of SSAFA to support and help fellow veterans in need.
The trip will include flights, accommodation, team kit & equipment and the event itself.
The SSAFA Warrior Challenge – Morocco is a tri-service event being run by SSAFA and Ultra X. The event will be over a four-day weekend - 15-18 November - with the run/tab being a two stage ultra-marathon that takes place in and around the city of Ouarzazate.
We are currently asking soldiers, sailors and aviators to register their interest for this event, and we will confirm the team and fundraising targets this November.
Nicknamed the door of the desert, Ouarzazate is positioned in south-central Morocco, south of the High Atlas Mountains. This course will take you on a sensory journey, past Kasbahs, through traditional fortified villages, lush oasises and over rocky desert whilst being supported by the wonderful local population.
Taking part in early November, the climate conditions for the race should be temperate, with lows of 8°C in the evening and highs around 25°C during the day.
Last year's team had a fantastic time, and raised an incredible sum for SSAFA, and we cannot wait to do it again!
