Female participants can compete in it with various land vehicles including motorbikes, trucks, buggies and others.
This year's edition will be attended by 92 teams, arriving from more than 14 countries including the Senegalese President's daughter, Syndiely Wade and her compatriot, Valerie Dot, honorary advisor to the United Nations Development Program and 3 times Paris-Dakar contestant, who are taking part in the race in order to promote the fight against AIDS.
