This is central to the concept, with strategy, solidarity and teamwork mattering just as much as individual performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A human-scale adventure in the Moroccan desert<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Limited to <strong>50 teams, i.e. 100 participants<\/strong>, this first edition aims to preserve genuine closeness between competitors and the spirit of great adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The experience continues beyond the stages with <strong>four nights in camp<\/strong>, for full immersion in the desert and moments of sharing between participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transfers from Marrakech and Ouarzazate, accommodation, catering, GPS tracking and medical assistance are all included, so that participants can focus entirely on their adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the sporting challenge, RAIDSTONE GRAVEL MAROC brings together <strong>sport, adventure, sharing and solidarity<\/strong> through a partnership with <strong>Solidarit\u00e9 Enfants des Sables<\/strong>, a charity supporting children and communities in desert regions, chaired by Patrick Bauer, founder of the Marathon des Sables and an iconic figure of great sporting adventures in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration now open<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p
