The Rallye AÎcha des Gazelles, whats is it?
The Rallye Aïcha des Gazelles du Maroc is a human adventure that brings together women from all over the world in the Moroccan Sahara. It offers a different vision of motor racing through an original eco-concept created in 1990: no speed, no GPS, but old-fashioned off-road navigation! To win, the participants, known as “Gazelles”, have to reach as many markers as possible each day, covering as few kilometers as possible.m
The Rallye des Gazelles is the only rally-raid in the world to be certified to the ISO 14001 environmental standard, and is part of a year-round CSR program focused on women’sempowerment and respect for the countries it crosses.
MATHEZ FREIGHT behind the Gazelles
In 2018, our then CFO Marion SABATIER set off on the“Trek’in Gazelles” (on foot) version of the Rallye des Gazelles. An unforgettable, eye-popping adventure.
In 2024, CDG’s MATHEZ FREIGHT agency has chosen to support two other extraordinary women on the 4×4 Rally: Céline and Julie are 2 Gazelles on the Bridge. A combination of self-transcendence, feminine challenge, solidarity, commitment and a good dose of daring and determination, they will be taking part in this unifying sporting event under crew number 125. Departure on April 11!
