How long is the Paris to Dakar Rally?

The Paris to Dakar Rally, originally held between Paris, France, and Dakar, Senegal, covered approximately 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers (around 5,000 to 6,200 miles), depending on the specific route each year. The rally typically consisted of multiple stages over about two weeks. However, since 2009, the event has been held in South America and, more recently, in Saudi Arabia, altering its traditional route and format.
