Morocco is where the rally raid shows its full range.
Fast gravel. Broken tracks. Sand. Stones. Dunes. Long days where speed and navigation matter equally.
From September 28 to October 3, Hero MotoSports returns to Rallye du Maroc for one of the toughest tests of the season. Beginning in Agadir before moving to Zagora, the rally covers more than 2,600 kilometres across five stages, testing pace, navigation, endurance and machine.
Morocco has already delivered several milestones for Hero MotoSports.
In 2019, Paulo Gonçalves won a stage. In 2023, Ross Branch finished 3rd overall, before returning in 2024 to secure Hero MotoSports’ first FIM World Rally-Raid Championship Drivers’ Title. In 2025, José Ignacio “Nacho” Cornejo secured his maiden stage victory for Hero MotoSports on Stage 4.
Across its journey, Hero MotoSports has recorded 9 international rally wins and 10 international podiums, including multiple Dakar stage wins between 2022 and 2024 and an eight-time 100% arrival record for the Hero 450 Rally at Dakar.
Now, we return to Morocco with another race to fight.
Another week of early starts, long stages, split-second decisions and everything that happens between the start line and the finish.
