AN EXPRESS RETURN OF THE AFRICA ECO RACE CARAVAN

Just a week after the award ceremony on the shores of the Lac Rose, the caravan of the AFRICA ECO RACE disembarked in the port of SETE in France. Thank you to our Partner GRIMALDI LINES for their rapidity and efficiency in bringing back our vehicles and assisting us in the problem free unloading.

A RALLY WITH VALUES

Besides the sports side of the competition, the organization, as well as many competitors, undertake humanitarian actions to improve the lives of thousands of children in Mauritania and Senegal. Once again, the AFRICA ECO RACE, in partnership with the AMADE Monaco and thanks to the eco-participation of our competitors and providers, distributed hundreds of solar lamps in remote villages in Mauritanie. An initiative which will be brought to the next level in 2021.

Thanks again to all our kind participants for their various actions to help the populations along the way to DAKAR.
