Donna Moderna, the Mondadori Group brand leader in the women’s segment, is opening enrolments for the Iriki Adventure, an exciting trip to Morocco, the last stage of the big Corri con noi (Run with us) project that offers the possibility for women who love to run and walk to train in 9 cities around Italy.

The final adventure will take place from 19 to 27 October in the Erg Chegaga desert where two options will be available: 80 km in 4 days for runners, and 40 km in 4 days for walkers.  Participants will come in contact with local customs and habits and the stories and traditions of Morocco and the enchanting city of Marrakesh.

“It will be a unique experience that will allow us to get to know the territory and its people slowly, as only walking can. And it will also be wonderful to share all of this with the community of women that have been activated by the Corri con noi project,” declared Annalisa Monfreda, editor of Donna Moderna.

Participants will also get to know the editor of the Mondadopri Group magazine who will be running with them, as well as the journalist of the staff, the ambassadors and the many women who have decided to enjoy an unforgettable week in one of the world’s most beautiful the deserts.

The race will take place in a breath-taking landscape, a corner of the Sahara close to the border with Algeria, with some of the country’s most impressive dunes, some of which are 300 metres high.

The runners will sleep in specially equipped tents and will also be able to take part in yoga and dance lessons and cookery courses. They will see sand dunes and high plains of rock and stones, Berber villages and the world’s largest palm grove.

For the women who are already enrolled in Corri con noi – and will take part in the training sessions in 9 Italian cities – the package will cost €2,000. For all other participants the cost will be €2,200. The price includes the entire experience, flights, the race and bib.
