The highest point in the race is 3,500 meters high, near the summit of the Atlas (the highest point in Morocco and second highest in Africa at 4,167 meters).

The actual race begins at midnight on Saturday, October 8, from Ouka\u00efmeden station at 2,620 meters of altitude. On the first two days there will be a technical congress, and athletes will take this time to acclimate themselves to the altitude. Registration costs EUR 420 and the deadline is September 15.<\/p>\n<p>The race includes up and downhill, narrow and broad stretches. There will be six support stations with beverages and food available, and 16 medical checkpoints. The fastest race time ever was 13 hours, and the maximum time is 40 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Portuguese is the most widely spoken language at the event \u2013 although Morocco\u2019s official language is French \u2013 since lots of racers from nearby Portugal usually join.
