We adapt the cut offs according to the temperature and the average times of the runners on the previous stage. The cut offs are decided before the start of each stage in order to allow the maximum number possible of runners to finish the stage in a reasonable time. Some participants decide to do some stages of hiking, cut off times allows to hike. Nobody was excluded for missing a cut off. You can also check in the program the approximate time we expect the last runner to arrive on each stage.

Drinking water will always be available, however we can’t guarantee the access to wells at each camp, although most times this is possible. This means that we will work hard to provide you a fast shower every day, but this depends also on water availability, wells and conditions of the roads to transport the water. Last year the runners had the opportunity to shower every day. Please don’t take it as a guarantee: water can finish and many things can happen in the middle of the desert.

The course is well marked with beach flags every 500 meters, we patrol the route and make sure all runners are registered at all check points.
