STAGE 3: MHAMID / OUED DRAA: 522.88 kms

Special stage: 462.70 kms

The AFRICA ECO RACE's usual special stage between Mhamid and Assa includes the first 20 kilometers in a magnificent landscape. Then it's on to the Erg de Chegaga via the Oued Draa tracks. Although this stretch of dunes is a classic of Moroccan rallies, the 40-kilometer east-west crossing of this sand block can be complex. After that, Lake Iriqui offers an opportunity to accelerate before returning to a traditional section. Despite the geographical constraints of Algeria on one side and a mountain range on the other, the reconnaissance team has introduced some new features to avoid the stony sections. The final section is fairly rolling, but requires careful navigation.

It's a race with values , human values, eco-responsable values… A true and efficient aid for the Children of Africa and that is important !
SAS Prince Albert II

You dream of dunes and beautiful landscapes, follow us to the Lac Rose !

We congratulate AFRICA ECO RACE for their support AMADE and enabling Mauritanian and Senegalese students to have access to solar lamps. A child with light at home, is a child able to do his homework when night comes.

Competition and sharing define the spirit of the Africa Eco Race

For us as service-team, the AER feels like going on a road-trip with the whole family ! Together we follow the ancient African trails. Together with the complete organization of the AER we give it all to bring our teams to the legendary Lac Rose ! Being true fans of the AER we enjoy the whole concept as you find in no other race, as one of our SSV pilots reminded me, there is only one real race to Dakar !
Wil THEUWS - Team Manager QFF Racing

It is always a pleasure for the population of Menton to witness the arrival of all these vehicles: trucks, cars, buggies, motorbikes… It is also all about the human and convivial aspect of this race which races through the city of Menton.
Fabrice PINET - Ville de Menton

The AFRICA ECO RACE is a true human organisation, you really fell that you're a part of a global project with an open and very initimate feeling. So you sleep with very simple thoughts while you reach your goal: Dakar
