at both the start and the finish
line of each day’s stage
are compulsory check-points.
Check-points are located throughout
the course of each stage of the
race. There are two to six check
points depending on the length
of the race and each competitor
must go through them, if not
penalties will be applied (see
Art 27 and 28). This allows the
race officials to record times
and distribute water (see ART.16).
Medical assistance will be available
at each check-point.
ART.

An official time-keeper will take down the daily order of arrival

must be punched.
ART.
15 : RANKING
Each
competitor’s
time is indicated
in hours, minutes
and seconds. CATEGORY A: Individual
ranking
The daily race
ranking is calculated
by adding the time
taken to run that
stage of the race
plus penalties,
if applicable.
General ranking
is calculated by
adding together
times for each
stage of the race. CATEGORY B: Team
ranking
For teams, the
daily race ranking
is calculated by
adding the times
for each member
of the team plus
penalties, if applicable.
The average of
the team's times
(plus penalties
for withdrawal
if applicable)
indicates the ranking
of that team.
General ranking
is calculated by
adding the times
obtained by the
team at each stage.
All complaints
must be made in
writing (see Art.
27).
Before
the start of each
stage, the water
distribution point
is a compulsory
check-point. AOI will distribute the 1.5l of water needed
to reach
check-point 1 (see ART. 13 and 16)
ART.
16 : WATER SUPPLY
The
organization takes charge of
supplying water to each competitor.
Water is typically distributed
as follows.
Liaison

10.5 litres per person per day
- 1,5 litres before the start each morning
- 2 or 3 x 1,5 litres during the race, at check points
- 4,5 litres at arrival post

Each participant must see to his/her water needs according to when water is distributed

into camping grounds for the competitors; numbered tents sleep 8. Competitors
may use their free time to prepare for the night and get medical care, if necessary.
Never
leave without water. Should
you get lost
in the desert, water reserves could be vital.
ART.
17 : MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
A specially-chosen medical
team, specializing in sports
and tropical medicine will be
present throughout the race with
the use of assistance vehicles.
It will be posted at check points
and at the finish line each day
and will ensure that any participants
who are suffering from physical
or mental exhaustion are brought
back to the base camp. The medical
team is allowed to remove ID
plates and to eliminate any participant
they feel physically unfit to
continue the race and/or having
received vital medical care.

the risk of having to pay the
search costs involved) must any
competitor leave the race without
informing the organization and
signing an official discharge
provided by AOI.
In the event of a competitor
dropping out of the race, he/she
must inform the organization
and return the ID plates to a
race official. A participant
who does not comply with this
rule will be penalized (see ART.

team abandons the race, the team

line, having signed an official
discharge issued by AOI, depending
on the feasibility (lodging and
meals being at his /her own expense)

every morning from the starting
point to the evening’s
bivouac.
Competitors who abandon and who
remain on the bivouac are automatically
taken charge of by the organization.

food to the organization.
ART.
19 : GROUND ASSISTANCE
The organization reminds all
participants that the 23rd MARATHON
DES SABLES is a race through
the Sahara where climatic and
ground conditions can be extreme.
Any outside assistance is strictly
prohibited. If a participant
is supplied by persons during
the race, he/she will be heavily
penalized. If a competitor goes
far off the race route, necessitating
a lengthy search, he/she will
lose the security deposit. (see
ART. 27 and 28)
ART.
20 : INSURANCE
An insurance policy covering
medical evacuation is arranged
by the organization for all entrants. The policy covers the following:
- evacuation on medical grounds
and corpse repatriation in the
event of death: real costs for
all competitors to return to
Morocco, mainland France, European
Union member countries and Switzerland.
Competitors residing in countries
not included in the aforementioned
list will bear the full costs
of returning to home countries
from the place of repatriation.
They are therefore strongly advised
to take out personal insurance.
- necessary fees required for
transport in case of death: 1525
Euros
- payment of medical expenses
in Morocco: 5600 Euros.
All competitors take part in
the full knowledge of the risks
that may be incurred in this
kind of competition. Since competitors
participate of their own free
will, the organization is not
responsible for any collapse
or accident.
In accordance with the 1984 law
on sport, the organiser is obliged
to advise participants to take
out their own accident and death
insurance.
ART.
21 : WEATHER AND TERRAIN CONDITIONS

of unfavourable weather conditions
or regulations in certain areas.
ART.
22 : MARKINGS
The participants in the 23rd
MARATHON DES SABLES must follow
the route as marked by the organizers,
failing which penalties may be
applied according to the particular
