Nicknamed the door of the desert, Ouarzazate is positioned in south-central Morocco, south of the High Atlas Mountains. This course will take you on a sensory journey, past Kasbahs, through traditional fortified villages, lush oasises and over rocky desert whilst being supported by the wonderful local population.

Taking part in early November, the climate conditions for the race should be temperate, with lows of  8°C in the evening and highs around 30°C during the day.

To get a feel for the event, please watch this video from last year's Warrior Challenge in the Azores:

2024's team had a fantastic time, and raised an incredible sum for SSAFA, and we cannot wait to do it again!
