Friday 20th:
Fly from Madrid. Meet at 7.30pm on 20th February at the Air Algerie counter in the new Terminal 4 building of Barajas Airport, Madrid. The plane will make a technical stop at Oran, but normally we don’t need to get out of the plane. The visa will be a collective visa which we will have obtained for you. From Tindouf, we will be driven by jeep into the desert and to a camp called Smara, one hour away. Here we will be distributed to our host families.
Saturday 21st:
Race registration, free time to explore Smara camp, visit the museum, and the capital, Rabuni, and eat with the families.

Breakfast and lunch with the families, and ‘pasta party’ in the evening. Instructions for the next day’s events.
