We are planning to start the event from Budapest’s famous parlaiment building. Teams in touring and racing will start together from one of the nicest parts of the Hungarian capital sorrounded by cheering fans.

EUROPE
The goal is to get out of Europe as quickly as possible and show up at the first African finish line in Morocco. A three day Super Marathon will start in Genova on the 16th.

MOROCCO
Spectacular mountain roads, rocky paths across the Atlas and the Sarhro will take teams to the Bani mountains and old Dakar pistes. Morocco will be demanding with its long days and complex stages. Day 8 will take us through to the Mauritanian border.

MAURITANIA
Instead of the usual 5 days, we’ll spend only 2 and half days in Mauritania, but it will be pure Sahara with golden sand dunes, soft desert paths and fast salt flats. We ll pass through the Banc D’Arguin National Park, a Unesco World Heritage Site and party hard at B2 Beach, named after the rally.

SENEGAL
After tackling the sand dunes of the Pink Lake (Lac Rose) teams will have to drive to the Niokolo Koba National Park along dusty village roads among mud huts and millet fields. A half rest day will allow teams some time to discover local wildlife before continuing onto the final push across the Senegal river to Mali.

MALI
More savannah driving and red clay roads will see the teams along to Diema, where a truly authentic African village experience awaits before crossing the finish line in Bamako.
