The adventure of a lifetime

Live a week out of time. 4 days of adventure in the desert, different formats (120, 100 or 70km in 3 stages), to be completed by walking or running. 

Discover the world's most beautiful deserts in Namibia, Cappadocia, Fuerteventura, Morocco, Jordan, Egypt and Peru.

*Some destinations are still work in progress, and pending permits and government authorizations.

The HMDS is a one-week sporting adventure that combines the discovery of the country, meeting new people and surpassing yourself.

The program: after spending 1 or 2 nights in a hotel, you will go to the desert for 4 days of walking/running and 3 or 4 nights in bivouac.

Once the race is over, we will return to the hotel to celebrate together and spend some time relaxing, or to discover the country depending on the destination.
 

HMDS is designed to be accessible to everyone. Whether you're a runner or a walker, you'll find what you're looking for at HMDS:

• Possibility to run or walk any distance 
• Wide time barriers: Minimum speed allowed 3,5km/h  
• Average pace in HMDS: 5,5km/h  
• 52% women   
• Average age: 42 years old  
• 98% of finishers

The HMDS can be done at your own pace: whether you sign up for the rankings or want to enjoy the adventure while walking, it's possible.

During the HMDS adventure, you will spend your nights in the heart of the desert, on the HMDS bivouac.

Organised in groups of 6 tents, the HMDS bivouac is the place where you will eat, rest and, above all, exchange and share with the other participants.

The organisation will provide you with an individual tent.

As the HMDS is self-sufficient in food, you will have to bring and carry your own food for the 4 days of the adventure.

It's up to you to choose between freeze-dried meals, salty snacks, compotes, soups, cereal bars, gels or other energy sources.

The water supply is entirely managed by the organization, in order to provide for all needs during the 4 days.
