MAÏENGA - RALLYE DES GAZELLES
Go there and contact
The headquarters of the rallye des Gazelles is located in Villeneuve-lèz-Avignon. This is an orienteering race, not a speed race, that takes place in the desert in southern Morocco, accessible to all women all over the world. Three extraordinary weeks, nine sporting stages between tracks and dunes, meetings with the desert populations... After finding sponsors, the Gazelles have to do internships: compass in December and piloting in the desert in February (optional, few do). In March, the team enters the scene: sponsor meetings, technical checks in Nice and departure from Sète (sometimes Nice or Barcelona) to Tangier in Morocco, on the way to Erfoud, the competition and the official arrival at the end of March in Essaouira. The Gazelles need a tent, sleeping bags, mattresses, military meals, a set of detailed maps, a road book (daily logbook), a magic rule and a reporter, the famous compass, and above all to have the mind to achieve their goal: to find up to ten beacons a day in the desert. A surpassing of oneself, moments of mutual aid, stress, endurance, timing, solitude sometimes, but an unforgettable experience: "Perseverance, tolerance and solidarity are the key words of a Gazelle one day, Gazelle always. "Crew Quote 247. And you, do you feel like having an adventure?
