Each one of the 500 cyclists will carry a SPOT Gen3 unit.
The Titan Desert race is a gruelling multi-stage adventure through a highly challenging landscape in one of the world's most inhospitable climates - the Sahara desert. Being held 23 - 28 May 2021, Titan Desert will see the world's toughest cyclists take on the challenge of a lifetime, facing the most extreme terrain as they race across the sands of Morocco in temperatures as high as 100 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).
With SPOT, Titan Desert race organisers and emergency support services will be able to precisely track each cyclists location, via a user-friendly display of GPS positions in real-time via the OwakaTracking platform. If a cyclists gets into trouble, such as sustaining an injury, with the single press of a button, emergency services will be alerted, his or her GPS coordinates will be transmitted, and help will be rapidly dispatched to the cyclists location.
