the program and the price

10 TO 13 APRIL 2014
Because of the nature of the marathon’s rules and its location (i.e. food self-sufficiency, desert, security), runners’ supporters
cannot access the event. We know how important it is for runners, their families, friends and sponsors to share the moment
and live through the experience together. For that reason, a long weekend has been organized to give you a chance to be at
the finishing line of the last stage and possibilty to participe at the Charity stage (see the program). The voyage takes place in
parallel with the SULTAN MARATHON DES SABLES (with different flights and hotels from the MDS runners).
The trip is being organized by Terres d’Aventure, which has partnered SULTAN MARATHON DES SABLES since 1995.
PRICES: WITH FLIGHT, Return from Paris: €1300 inc. tax. per person (including € 165 airport tax)
WITHOUT FLIGHT: € 785 inc. tax.
