The soaring peaks of the Atlas Mountains stretch for 2000km across Northern Africa, forming a jagged backbone that separates the temperate coastline from the arid Sahara desert. The tallest and most dramatic peaks are found right in Morocco and are home to a vast network of rugged dirt roads and ancient shepherds paths, connecting the bucolic valleys where locals carry on with a way of life that has remained largely unchanged for centuries. In these secluded places, all that is needed comes from the land, time is measured in seasons, visitors are welcomed with smiles and mint tea, and traveling on foot is the way it has always been and will always be done.

As a runner you will have to opportunity to experience stunning high-altitude trails (give way to the mules!), cruise the dirt roads above fertile, terraced valleys, race the local kids as you pass through their mountainside villages, soak your legs in icy snowmelt rivers and get up close and personal with a land seemingly locked in time. By the time we make our way out to the breezy blue coastline at the end of the week, any assumptions you’d ever made about Morocco being one big desert will have been completely shattered.

Every day presents a brand new landscape and a brand new run, and multiple distance options are always available to ensure that you never have to run more or less than desired. Every detail is taken care of, from the wonderful meals featuring local cuisine and unique guesthouses to the route selection and sightseeing stops, and the small group set up ensures an authentic, intimate experience where great new friendships are quickly forged and memories made that will last a lifetime.
