Running in Morocco – Bespoke Running Holidays in the Atlas Mountains

If you desire to discover the Atlas Mountains differently, then why not consider a running holiday here?

Let us plan the ultimate holiday for you and your running friends. We deal with running clubs, families or just groups of people who have a desire to get off the beaten track and explore the stunning landscape of the Atlas Mountains at a faster pace.

We offer two main options: running trips from a fixed base where you come back to the same hotel each night; and multi-day running journeys where you will stay in different villages or mountain huts and complete a stunning circuit over several days.

Our intimate knowledge of the trails and routs of the Atlas Mountains mean that you will have the most amazing time running in this beautiful land, with no need to worry about navigation or where to stay, as we have got that covered for you.

There’s a world of mountains to explore out there… let’s Go!

New Trail Run Morocco website

We have developed a new website dedicated to trail running in the Atlas Mountains. Please have a look. we list many of our trail runs there with detailed route descriptions. the booking page links back here so feel free to browse and book from there!

Run. Here. Now! You will never forget it…

Based from Amizmiz:

Staying in Amizmiz, your holiday will enable you to do runs of varying distances each day, leaving plenty of free time  to relax by the pool of your hotel, enjoy the hamam or massage. You can even explore the traditional market (Souk) of Amizmiz if your stay coincides with Market Day (tuesdays).

 

Not only will you be able to stay at a prestigious and relaxing hotel in the beautiful Amizmiz region, you will also be able to explore the real morocco as we take you on runs of various grades in this little-known region.

 

Your stay can be as long or short as you wish. We suggest an itinerary of three to five days to make the most of this region. We can also arrange for restful days between your runs where you can do activities such as yoga or mindfulness & meditation in this beautiful landscape.

Based from Imlil:

We can arrange for you to stay at various stunning locations in Imlil, the trekking base for the High Atlas Mountains. From there we will take you around some of our favourite runs of the area each day. Your first days can be warm-ups where you get acclimatised to the kind of trails we have here, going through Berber villages and some of the minor peaks in the area, returning to Imlil each night.

Then for those who desire, we can take you up into the higher mountains and be based at the Toubkal refuge for a night. From there we will take you up some of the 4000m mountains to experience some of the finest mountain running that Morocco has to offer. Perhaps you could even conquer Jebel Toubkal itself, the highest mountain in North Africa!

Your stay can be as long or short as you wish. We suggest an itinerary of three to seven days to make the most of this region. We can also arrange for rest days between your runs to simply enjoy the local cuisine and relax in this stunning mountain environment.

Running Journeys:

For the ultimate running holiday in Morocco, why not book a multi-day journey with us? You decide how many days (we recommend a minimum of three) and what level of running and distance you hope to cover each day, and we will plan a journey just for you.

In this way you can really get into the back country, away from the tourists and trekkers, and into areas seldom visited by outsiders. Run ancient Berber footpaths, ascend remote colls and mountains, and enjoy the running adventure of a lifetime!

Your journey will be fully supported by mules, who will carry the baggage you need for each night. We will put you up in the best guesthouses and auberges we know, and there will be copious amount of food and mint tea each evening to refuel you for the next day!
