About

The 100km del Sahara is a formidable desert ultra that throws runners into the raw heart of the Sahara across a demanding 100-kilometer course. The route mixes varied and punishing terrain, from steep, technical climbs on Tembaine mountain to energy-sapping dune sections, creating a race that is as relentless as it is spectacular. A night segment adds another layer of difficulty, turning the event into a true test of endurance, resilience, and concentration in one of the world’s most austere landscapes. Beyond the challenge itself, the race pairs high-level organization with a distinctive desert atmosphere. Locally inspired nutrition supports runners through the effort, while the Grand Erg setting delivers a striking backdrop of vast silence and shifting الرمال. The overall experience balances hardship with a sense of adventure and immersion, capped by comfortable post-race recovery in the desert.
