Special stage: 387.88 km

Liaison : 25,33 km

The penultimate special stage of the AFRICA ECO RACE starts from the bivouac. It's a good moment for the assistants, who will be able to see the start, as the road link to Akjoujt will be relatively short. Competitors are soon back on the dunes, with the first forty kilometers or so not being much fun, as it's full of camel grass. Climate change and the rain that now falls regularly in the desert allow vegetation to develop, modifying the terrain. The petrol station will be set up on the road to Choum, which the rally will cross. From that point on, most of the difficulties will be behind us. It's time to give way to the driving on the ever-popular sandy tracks as far as Akjoujt, the Rally's historic village, which benefits every year from the passage of the organization's trucks, which deliver school equipment and toys to Mauritanian schoolchildren.

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.

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.
Jérôme FROISSART - Directeur AMADE Mondiale

The enthusiam and passion of the team as well as their constant research of bringing eco-responsable actions to their event, make the AFRICA ECO RACE one of the unmissable events of the Principality and we are proud to welcome them every year. We encourage everybody to buy a maximum of solar lamps provided by AMADE and AFRICA ECO RACE. More than a daily use, they will enable senegalese and mauritanian children to walk safely home after dark and will contribute to reducing the racing vehicules' carbon footprint.

I am glad that I was standing at the finish line of AER 22 in Dakar at the Pink Lake. It is the goal and dream of all racers who do cross-country races all over the world.
