Live the 1000Dunas experience, an adventure for motorcyclists

THE RACERED 1000 DUNAS EXPERIENCE

During a high-intensity week, you’ll set out from Granada, then cross the Mediterranean Sea on a ferry from Motril to Nador. You’ll ride through the land of the Berbers in the Atlas Mountains, where you might even encounter the first snowfalls of the season. Then you’ll descend the mountains southbound into the desert terrains of Morocco to arrive at the peaks of the great dunes of Erg Chebbi.

On the way back, filled with the strength the spirit of the desert provides, you’ll traverse the more unexplored lands of Morocco from Merzouga to Nador in the stages of the rally that will most test your endurance.

Raid stages

Throughout all of the 1000 DUNAS 1000 stages navigational skill reigns supreme, as they are designed to test your abilities as a rider: endurance, negotiating the dunes, off-course riding, strategy, etc. A design handmade by Miguel Puertas, our Sporting Director. Miguel is a man of adventure, a jet raider who's participated 11 times in the Dakar Rally finishing it 9 times, and Sporting Director of the best private off-road team from 2015 to 2018 Himoinsa Racing Team.

Super Especial

This year, at the Erg of Merzouga, we return with our legendary stage, “The 13 Peaks.”After all the riders take off from the start line, they will cover the 150 kms of SAND ONLY trail, from where the PRO and ELITE category riders will have to reach the top of the Erg Chebbi’s 13 highest super dunes to prove the worth of their WP in this special stage and demonstrate their abilities. An ideal stage to show your riding ability and ability to negotiate the dunes.

The RACERED 1000 DUNAS is the only rally which allows you the option to compete individually or in teams of three riders which can be co-ed. The latter option is tailored to riders who want to experience RACERED 1000 DUNAS together and enjoy an exciting and intense team spirit. A challenge for the categories of TRAIL, HARD TRAIL, and ADVENTURE where all the members of the team must make it to the finish line before the team can qualify as a finisher.

The RACERED 1000 DUNAS is a rally raid where after the seven days you should feel an intense sense of adventure totally fulfilled, and the super-marathon stage puts the exclamation mark on it all to ensure this happens. This year we’ll test riders’ endurance with two stages of this type: two chances to feel the desert underneath the stars, surrounded by the best of company, your fellow adventure riders.

“The RACERED 1000 DUNAS is the most incredible experience I’ve had on a motorcycle in my life. I’ve had every feeling imaginable packed into one week. During this time you only think about the rally, you’re so concentrated on it that you forget about the rest of the world, nothing else exists for you, and when you go back to your normal life, to your day-to-day routine, you are filled with loads of incredible, positive memories.”

Jaime LozanoWinner of the TRAIL RAIDERS category of 2019’s RACERED 1000 DUNAS

“1000 DUNAS has delivered on toughness, difficulty and the spirit of improvement that they initially boasted. They put me to the test and helped me discover my own limits. The way this ride inspires you to overcome was what helped me across the finish line on my Ténéré, something I am extremely proud of. I would encourage any rider to experience it at least once in their lives.”

Mario MontoroMario Montoro completed 2019’s RACERED 1000 DUNAS with his standard Yamaha Teneré 600 motorcycle; it was his first rally.

“When I signed up for the RACERED 1000 DUNAS, I had a great deal of doubt about my ability to finish it, but I risked it, and I have to say it was an amazing experience. The RACERED 1000 DUNAS is a rally full of contrasts: between solitude and comradery, between suffering and euphoria, or between the many different terrains we traversed in just one week. This all made for an unforgettable time when I experienced that special feeling of those first motorcycle adventures in Africa."

“The RACERED 1000 DUNAS gave me confidence. One day that I remember, especially because I had never done it before on a motorcycle, was the first time I rode on the dunes. It was a crazy feeling, and I was instantly mad for it, what a revelation! I’d highly recommend the RACERED 1000 DUNAS rally for any riding enthusiast for the simple fact that I don’t think that right now, there is any test or experience that equals it.”

“En el RACERED 1000 DUNAS tienes medios para solucionar cualquier problema en mitad de la nada está todo muy bien organizado y ahora mismo no creo que haya ninguna carrera de navegación igual. Pero lo que más me impresionó, y mira que he hecho carreras en velocidad, trial, enduro, etc.., es la familia que se forma en el RACERED 1000 DUNAS no sólo entre participantes sino también entre la organización y eso es increíble, no lo he visto en ninguna carrera de las que he hecho, ¡chapó!”

“The RACERED 1000 DUNAS isn’t a new test for me, but Miguel Puertas exceeds himself year after year, and the truth is it was a real battle for me. The special stages were fantastic; the roadbook was perfect, the stages presented us with a crazy amount of mileage and tricky navigational stretches, we spent 10 hours a day on the bike and each day we arrived at night to the campsite. Also, the route in its entirety was impossible to complete in just a few days, just another test from Miguel to force us to stray from the main course and make us challenge ourselves mentally.”
