SUMMARY:The Sahara Marathon 2019
DESCRIPTION:Sahara Marathon 2019\nAnd once again\, the adventure begins… \nFebruary 23rd  to March 2nd\, registrations are open.. \nThe travel\nThe Saharawi refugee camps are located about one hour bus/truck journey from the city of Tindouf\, in the South-west of Algeria\, close to the Moroccan and Mauritanian borders.. \nTo get to the camps and participate in the race you can join a charter flight from Madrid (Spain) to Tindouf: \nSCHEDULE: The schedule from Madrid flight is yet to be confirmed by Air Algerie. \nMadrid-Tindouf: February 23rd 15:00 h.  \nTindouf-Madrid: March 2nd 19:10 h. (arriving time 22:05) \nPrice: 900 Euros with registration fee included\nChildren can travel accompanied without problem\, following some advice from the organization. The price for children under 16 is 750€\nRegistration deadline: January 15th \nThe registration fee is the same for both runners and non-runners and includes:\nFlight Ticket Madrid-Tindouf-Madrid\nAlgerian visa \nAccomodation: participants will be split in to small groups of 4-5 and will be hosted by Saharawi families in their tents. Mattresses\, pillows and blankets will be provided but bringing a sleeping bag is strongly recommended.\nIf you are repeating and already know a family\, and want to be their guests\, you can stay with them. \nFood: participants will eat meals with the Saharawi families. \nWater: participants will receive mineral water in sealed bottles as required. \nTransport: transportation will be provided from Tindouf to the camps and for various site visits. \nRace registration: race participation\, t-shirt and a medal. \nSCHEDULE \nAlthough it is not easy to comply with a scheduled programme in the camps\, this is the travel plan: \nSaturday: upon arrival at the camps participants will be assigned to local families and shown to their tents where they will be able to rest\nSunday and Monday: participants will be free to explore the camps and acclimatise. Race registration will take place and a information will be provided.\nTuesday: SaharaMarathon\nWednesday: celebration of the aniversary of the foundation of the Saharawi Republic\, award ceremony\nThursday: visit with a guide of a school\, a nursery\, a pharmacy dispensary\, and at the end a talk about the history of Saharawi people\nFriday: children race and olympics\, and excursion for tea on the sand dunes \nThe Sahara Marathon organisation and the Saharawi people will try to ensure visitors enjoy their stay at the camps. However\, it is important to understand that the event is also about solidarity and\, for a week\, participants will be living in the same conditions that the Saharawis have endured for 43 years. With this in mind\, it is requested that participants visit the camps with an open mind and a flexible attitude. \nTHE FLIGHT\nAn Air Algerie aircraft has been chartered to transport the delegation from Madrid to Tindouf\, leaving on Saturday 23rd February and returning on Saturday 2nd March.\nHowever\, in the event that less than 100 participants register to take the chartered flight it may be necessary to revert to scheduled flights requiring a change of aircraft in Algiers.\nThe schedule won’t be official until AirAlgerie confirmation.\nThe plane will make a technical stop at Orán or Algier\, but normally there’s no need to get out of the plane.\nThe allowed luggage is 15 kilos per traveler. \nVISA\nThe visa is collective and we will take care of it. Don’t forget your passport and make sure about the expire date (must be valid for 6 months ahead of the travel date). Minimum validity until September 3\, 2019 \nTHE ACCOMODATION\nAll participants will be split in to small groups of 4-5 and will be hosted by Saharawi families in their tents. You can ask to join a particular group or create one\, otherwia you’ll be assigned randomly.\nAll families will receive economical aid and supplies from the organization\, and since for the saharawi hospitality is very important they’ll do their best to make you feel part of the family.\nIf you want you can bring small gifts to the family\, possibly sharing the gifts amongs neighborood families and kids to help more people. We suggest small toys for the kids\, flashlights\, pens and colored pencils\, utility tools… \nTHE FOOD\nThe organization will offer a breakfast and a pocket lunch the day of the race. All other meals will take place with the respective saharawi families (lentils\, couscous\, salads\, camel or goat meat\, french fries\, pasta)\nIs very important to drink only the bottled water (we’ll take car of water distribution in each family)\, that is the same water used for tea that you can drink safely. \nSHOPS\nIf you want to buy something you can use Euros (don’t bring large bills). There are quite a lot of shops where you can buy artisan articles and have a drink. You can also find locutories where you can call home. The best is to bring one of the childs with you so they can understand you better. \nHYGIENE\nWe’ll stay in a refugee camps in the middle of the desert\, this means that we must forget a daily shower and all the commodities of our WCs.\nOutside every house/tent there will be a small building with a wc\, and you’ll always have available a basin with water to wash.\nThe day of the race\, if we won’t have problems with water\, everyone will have the chance to take a shower in the protocol building (bring your soap and towel). \nLUGGAGE\nBesides the normal weight limit of 15 kg per person please note that we bring a lot of material for the project.
