Yo will trek for four days through this ever-changing landscape and climb to the top of the massive Chegaga Dunes, for the desert sun-rise. The days will be hot and the trekking will be tough, but the unrivalled support from the team will help you conquer this mammoth desert!  Vista’s as far as the eye can see combined with the pleasure of having the volcanic Anti-Atlas Mountains as your backdrop – need we say more!

What's the difference between a sponsorship place and a self funded place?

add remove

For a sponsorship place, the participant pays the registration fee directly to the event organisers and then commits to raise a minimum fundraising pledge for the MND Association, of which a certain amount needs to be with us by a specific date as we will then be invoiced for the cost of your challenge by the event organisers. Then the remaining pledge needs to be with us by four weeks after the event.
 
For a self-funded place, the participant pays the registration fee directly to the event organisers and then raises as much as they can in sponsorship for the MND Association and the MND Association incurs no costs for the place.

Can I take part if i'm under 18?

add remove

The minimum age for this trek is 18 years old (if you are aged between 14 – 17 years you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
