Raid Tanja Lagouira: aventura solidaria en Marruecos
Adventure, solidarity, friendship, discovery and investment: these are the key terms on which the Tanja Lagouira Rally Raid initiative is based. This sporting event will run in its 14th edition between Madrid and Dakhla from 1 to 13 November, 13 exciting days that will mean a social adventure and an unforgettable experience for its participants. All this is organised by NORD SUD ACTION (Moroccan Association for Communication, Socio-Economic Development and Investment Incentives), in collaboration with the Moroccan Embassy in Spain and with the support of the Dakhla Oued Eddahab region.
The Tanja Lagouira Rally is not just a speed race, but rather a journey of discovery and a real adventure, as the organisers' declared aim is to arrive safe and sound at the final destination while enjoying the environment along the route. The competition is open to anyone who wants to take part, has a 4x4 vehicle and wants to take part in an adventure through Moroccan territory.
NORD SUD ACTION, together with the CRIs of the southern regions of Morocco and humanitarian associations established in the southern provinces, is organising this event with the aim of promoting the southern provinces of the Alaouite Kingdom through this 4x4 Raid from Tangier to Dakhla, starting this year from the capital of Spain.
During the Raid, runners will be able to enjoy the landscapes, roads, dunes, paradisiacal beaches and oases of the Moroccan Sahara, as indicated by the organisers.

There will also be the opportunity to learn board sports such as kitesurfing, sailing, canoeing and kayaking, to enjoy the views of cliffs and moons, or even to go line fishing or diving.
The social and charitable nature of this motor race is also very marked, as participants will be able to support humanitarian and social actions, deployed along the route.
