Pack Ultra Désert 7 Days Essential - 14,000 Kcal

Description

The Ultra Desert 7-Day Essential Pack 14,000 kcal is a complete food solution designed for participants in self-sufficient races such as the Marathon des Sables. It provides a total of 14,000 kcal, averaging 2,000 kcal per day, to meet the energy demands of a long and gruelling event in desert conditions.

This Pack was designed to handle the extreme conditions of the desert, with lightweight, easy-to-digest and easy-to-organise food. With over 10 years of experience, Freezedried & Co presents a ready-to-use Pack, tested in real conditions and tailored to the nutritional demands of this type of race. Each day's food is carefully packed in an individual zip-lock bag. This system lets you quickly find the meals and snacks planned for the day, without wasting time during the event. The Pack is fully ready to go and can be slipped straight into your bag before the start.

The recipes are varied to keep morale high and prevent dietary monotony over several days. The dishes are lightly spiced or plain to aid digestion during exertion, except for the rest-day lunch, which adds an exotic touch without compromising performance. The overall range provides a balanced macronutrient intake, with carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

Each day includes a muesli-based breakfast, ideal for energy and fibre. On arrival at the stage, a cold meal allows for quick recovery with tabbouleh, apple sauce and dried meat. In the evening, a hot dinner with dessert helps top up energy levels and makes it easier to face the cool desert nights.

Meals for the arrival day, the rest day after the long stage, and the final day are included. If the Pack is not used for the Marathon des Sables, these extra meals can also be used on a hiking weekend, during a training period, or for another self-sufficient event such as the TransPyreneA or RacingThePlanet. The dishes are selected for their excellent weight-to-calorie ratio. The net food weight is 3.25 kg, with a total packaged weight of approximately 4.7 kg. To further reduce bulk and weight in your bag, it is recommended to repack the meals before the race, keeping the nutritional labels for official checks.

The Freezedried & Co customer service team can also support participants with a personalised adaptation of the Pack to suit their specific needs, dietary strategy or race constraints.
