The story

Skoda Titan Desert Morocco in Boumalne Dades/Erfoud/Moroccan Desert

Skoda Titan Desert Morocco is a six-day, over 600-kilometer mountain-bike stage race across the Sahara between the Atlas Mountains and the desert proper, running since 2006. The 2025 edition marked its 20th anniversary, held May 1-6, while 2026 is scheduled for April 26 through May 1. Riders camp at temporary desert campsites along the route, tackling unmarked navigation sections and a demanding marathon stage each year.

Skoda Titan Desert Morocco has run since 2006, threading a six-day route across more than 600 kilometers of terrain between the Atlas Mountains and the open Sahara.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The Titan Desert's defining feature is its Challenge format, a structure that separates it from races where a single missed cutoff ends a rider's event entirely

02

The mystery stays covered

Competitors who miss control time or drop out of a stage can continue racing in subsequent stages without earning points for the missed section, keeping riders in the event even after a rough day

03

The city starts moving

A timed Skoda Challenge segment rewards the fastest riders with a 60-second bonus, while a marathon stage strips away mechanical and physiotherapy support at day's end, forcing self-sufficiency

04

The water draws everyone in

Unmarked navigation sections test route-finding skills alongside raw fitness, and nightly stays in temporary desert campsites with basic facilities give the event genuine expedition character

05

The old stones answer

Now two decades old, the race remains one of Africa's most demanding mountain-bike stage events
