le lien que j'ai mis mène à cette page qui parle du marathon des sables et pas d'une course d'un jour je ne sais où
Par contre ce site n'enregistre à priori pas d'inscription pour les français mais pour les UK, Ireland et Israël et il semble que leur quota de places soit pris très tôt puisque pour se pré-inscrire par leur intermédiaire c'est actuellement pour 2014 et 2015

How to get a place on the Marathon Des Sables
Who to register with
Your registrar for the MdS depends on the country in which you live. We (The Best of Morocco) can only accept entrants from the UK, Ireland & Israel. If you do not live in one of these countries, visit the organisers website (
www.darbaroud.com) to find your local representative.
The next MdS with available places
The MdS is run annually in March/April. We are limited to about 235 places in each event (this is under a quarter of the total MdS places). Interest in the UK for running the MdS is very high so these places are taken several years in advance. See below for the specific status of each year.
Entering via a charity
Some of our allocation is taken up by charities, so they may have a space even if we don't. Of course, they will require certain guarantees that you will use your place to the best effect for the charity. In return they may subsidise your entrance and other costs.
On example is Facing Africa (website) - how to get a Facing Africa MdS place.
If you do get a place through The Best of Morocco, Facing Africa also run a scheme where they will contribute towards your costs if you run on their behalf - more details.
Teams
Competitors can enter as individuals or as teams of three or more members. Team members pay a higher registration fee, a team ranking is recorded during the race while the team continues to have at least three members.
How much will it cost
The price for each year is shown below. Due to the fact that places are booked so far in advance, while the organisers and other costs are not known until much closer to the race, the final registration fee is not confirmed less than 11 months prior to the race.
The payment is split into an initial registration fee (£500), plus two further payments in the 8 months leading upto the event.
There is an additional payment called a security deposit of around 200 Euros taken before the race. This is refunded if you complete the race without penalties.

Cancellation
You can cancel your place at any time by letting us know in writing. Cancellation fees apply as listed in the rules. We recommend you take out insurance that covers cancellation.
Waitlist
To fill places made available by cancellations we maintain a list of competitors interested in any place that becomes available (one list for each MdS). To be included on the waitlist requires a deposit payment of £500. This deposit will be fully refunded if you ask to be removed from the waitlist. If we are able to offer you a confirmed place which you accept this deposit becomes the first payment and is no longer refundable. Any other payments due at the time you accept the confirmed place are also to be made immediately.
Since the waitlist depends on cancellations, the time at which we can offer you a confirmed place (if at all) is not possible to predict with any accuracy. We are not able to fill any cancelled places after the January (approximately) preceeding the race, so at this point anyone remaining on the waitlist will have their deposits refunded.

Registration for 2012 (27th) MdS
The event date and final costs are not yet known.
The confirmed price is always announced after the previous year's event (ie July 2011). The cost for 2011 is £3,200 for individuals, however, given the current economic climate, it is impossible to predict the cost for 2012 this far in advance. If the costs increase by more than 10% of the previous year's confirmed price, you will be entitled to withdraw and receive a refund of your £500 deposit.
Confirmed places are now sold out, but we may still have waitlist places available - please contact us for details
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Registration for 2013 (27th) MdS
We regret that we are unable to offer places on the 2013 Marathon des Sables - please refer to the organisers' website for further information on how to enter.

Registration for other events
As you can see above, places on the MdS are booked far up in advance - whether you can't wait, want to push your training, or are an MdS veteran looking for something new, we have an event for you.
THE EXTRAORDINARY offers registration to a range of extraordinary events, including the Polar Challenge (several weeks across the ice-cap to the Magnetic North Pole) and the RAW Series (a group of endurance footraces in the style of the MdS in locations across the world).
