Events
The CHUS Foundation's Défi sportif is the perfect opportunity to excel at several levels: it is an ideal project to combine passions and values, surpassing oneself and charity, travel and challenges... Each edition, participants set off on an adventure somewhere in the world with not only a sporting challenge to take on, but also charitable goals.
For its 3rd edition, the Défi Sportif intends to bring between 10 and 20 participants to the Draa Valley in Morocco. The event will take place next October: a 10-day trek among dunes, arid plateaus, oases and palm trees...
Although it is a sporting challenge, it is rated as accessible (level 1+). The walks, of 4 to 6 hours a day, obviously take place in the sand and in a desert climate with Saharan temperatures: preparation will therefore be required and regular training before the start is required, but there is no need to be an elite athlete to join this journey.
Indeed, this trek in Morocco does not present any particular technical difficulties, insofar as it is a camel hike (i.e. pack camels carry all the logistical equipment - the participants only carry their backpack for the day). It is the ideal trip to discover and learn how to hike in the desert.
In this way, the members of the group will multiply their efforts and will certainly show perseverance until the day before their departure in order to achieve their personal goals as well as those of their fundraising.
To find out more
On Tuesday, April 5, at 7 p.m., there will be a free and non-binding information session. The objective of this evening is to present the challenge, the trek and the destination as well as the details of the fundraising campaign for the benefit of the Fondation du CHUS. It will also explain the support offered by the Foundation and by the Karavaniers in the preparation of this journey.
Registration for the Défi Sportif will take place from then on and will continue until May 2, 2022.
