Morocco was the location of our very first trip, and remains our most popular destination today. From the souks of Marrakech, the drama of the High Atlas and the magic of the Anti Atlas to awe-inspiring Saharan sunsets, endless palm oases and the breezy blue coastline, there is far too much to experience to fit it all into one trip!
We currently offer two different itineraries; each one is distinctly unique but both are designed to showcase the stunning scenery, delicious cuisine, fascinating culture and legendary hospitality of the Moroccan people.

“I traveled alone to a continent I’d never been to to run with a bunch of people I’d never met and had an absolutely amazing time. Everyone was fun and friendly, the places we stayed in were wonderful and we ran in truly awesome locations. Allison, Gabe, James, Hamid and the rest of the Moroccan crew did a fantastic job of keeping everything running smoothly and made sure I had ample vegan food at every meal. I would recommend a Rogue trip to any runner who wants to explore and really experience a new place!”
This is the trip that started it all!
Get ready to see, hear, taste and RUN one of the most beautiful, welcoming & magical areas of North Africa. We'll wander Marrakech markets, pass over the snow-capped High Atlas mountains, explore ancient kasbahs, learn about the traditional Berber way of life and play on the giant sand dunes surrounding our private camp in the Sahara.
Run along lush river valleys, through dramatic gorges and palm oases and in the Sahara, catching glimpses of village life that are never seen from the highways. Enjoy full run support from our team, who are always on hand with water, rides and plenty of high fives, no matter your pace.
Finish each day with a beautiful desert sunset, a delicious Moroccan feast, endless stories and mind-blowing views of the stars.
THE SCENERY: Mountains, canyons, palm oases, barren desert, sand dunes, kasbahs!
THE RUNNING: Pavement, dirt road and some sand in the Sahara. Vehicle-supported runs with completely flexible distance options each day. A great choice for road runners of all ability levels.

“People have a tendency to look at me sideways when I told them I went on a “running expedition” to Morocco. And honestly, I thought I might have been crazy, too. But this was without a doubt the BEST vacation. From the guides, to the accommodations, to the chefs, to the scenery, this was an incredible way to be immersed in another culture and really get to relax (yes...relax while running!) & see the countryside. From the High Atlas Mountains to the coast, we got to explore some of the most authentic parts of Morocco, and we’ve made life-long friends to boot!
I can’t even end it with something as cliché as the “vacation of a lifetime,” because I’ll be back for more!”

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.
THE SCENERY: Mountains (big ones!), river canyons, terraced valleys, orchards, Atlantic coastline
THE RUNNING: Dirt roads and single track trail in mountainous terrain. Vehicle-supported runs with flexible distance options each day; some trail running experience recommended. We’ll provide preparation suggestions to registered runners!
