The fifth edition of the Tunisie Challenge, which will take place from 8th to 17th October 2025, brings exciting new features, including changes to the starting point and a redesigned itinerary. Most of the routes will be brand new, further enhancing the adventurous spirit expected from an event full of stunning contrasts.
For the first time in the history of the Tunisie Challenge, the city of Tunis will serve as the starting point of the event. Upon arrival in the capital, participants will undergo administrative and technical checks before embarking on the first stage. This stage will take competitors through a completely new area, travelling from Tunis to Sousse via the Cape Bon peninsula, with long stretches of beach alternating with sandy vegetation zones.
The second stage, which runs from Sousse to Douz, will be one of the longest, covering over 400 kilometres. This stage, named the ‘marathon’, will take the convoy to the gateway of the desert. Following this, participants will enjoy two days immersed in the breathtaking dunes of the Grand Erg Oriental, offering an extraordinary carousel of desert landscapes.
Stage three will be a loop around Douz, taking full advantage of the diverse terrain to create a route where sand and dunes take centre stage. The following day, competitors will journey from Douz to Ksar Ghilane, continuing along a track equally dominated by dunes.
The fifth and final stage will start in Ksar Ghilane and, as per tradition, conclude on the island of Djerba, by the beach.
This revamped itinerary allows us to explore new areas of the country while maintaining our goal of making the Tunisie Challenge increasingly attractive, thrilling, and spectacular. Of the five stages, three will be entirely new, while the last two will feature updated routes. Additionally, there will be even more surprises in this fifth edition, which we will reveal in the coming months.
