Since the difficult and painful decision I had to make at the end of October, it is clear that the AFRICA ECO RACE is a big family. Many of you sent us messages of understanding and support and I wanted to thank you all warmly.
This confirms the values of the AFRICA ECO RACE that I have been defending from the start: conviviality, mutual aid, the passion that drives us while prioritizing the safety of all.
After more than a month of traveling through Senegal and Mauritania, the recce team of the AFRICA ECO RACE have finalised the stages of the "DAKAR-DAKAR" route. Brand new stages, mind blowing bivouac, unparalleled authenticity and conviviality, always following the footsteps of Thierry Sabine...
For a week, the recce team has traveled through Senegal, in the middle of the rain season, to explore and discover special stages amongst this unique setting and playground, whilst ensuring the safety of the population and the participants.
A week ago, the recce team arrived in Dakar to travel through Senegal and Mauritania to finalize a unique DAKAR / DAKAR route. On the other hand, the AFRICA ECO RACE team is working on logistics to allow a greater number of participants to be able to experience this 13th edition, from January 5 to 17, 2021, despite the restrictions related to Covid 19.

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.

This event created by Jean Louis SCHLESSER and René METGE is a precise cocktail where the pleasure of racing bonds with the beauty of the landscapes and the nice atmosphere between everyone on the bivouacs
Franck ALLARD - AMV assurances
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.
