High Morocco 2026

"Oh Oh Oh" 🎅 Oops, not the right time of year! 😅 No, no, it's in April when everything happens! But you'll still feel like it's Christmas 😉. What, you didn't know? Come on, we'll tell you everything about the next edition of the High Morocco!

For this intensive competition, we’re taking you to the Morocco 🇲🇦, in the small towns of Imlil and Ouirgane, located 67 km from the beautiful Marrakech. Slip on your babouches... ahem, your sneakers... 👟 because we’re offering a competition where you'll surely find your happiness 🥹. Several trail routes are available: 10 km (200 mD+), 21 km (1,000 mD+), 44 km (2,300 mD+), and three ultras of 60 km (3,000 mD+), 85 km (4,700 mD+), and 120 km (6,400 mD+). You will quickly realize that the scenery leaves nothing to be desired since you will have the chance to run in the High Atlas mountain range, between stone deserts 🪨 and snow-covered mountains 🏔. Does that whet your appetite? 👄 Come on, we'll tell you more about these beautiful, technical, and challenging races over a nice cup of mint tea 🫖.

The High Morocco, as its name suggests, takes place in the heights of Morocco 🇲🇦. Therefore, it’s the High Atlas chain that will be honored! 🙌 The event takes place in the region of Marrakech-Safi, near the ancient royal capital Marrakech 🇲🇦. With a breathtaking view of the arid desert and the High Atlas ❄️ (nicknamed "the roof of Morocco" 🛖), the races promise to be rich in atypical landscapes. Moreover, this nature is largely preserved 🛡️ from human pollution 🚗. This attention to respecting these natural areas has notably allowed many species to thrive. Indeed, outdoor activities are not lacking! Enthusiasts will be amazed by the richness of the local fauna at the Toubkal National Park, which is home to gazelles, lynx 🐱, leopards 🐆, jackals, mouflons, and even birds of prey 🦅. So, even though you will explore it extensively, you will surely want to see more, once the competition is over, particularly the cliffs, lake, waterfalls, gorges, ridges, watercourses, and steep peaks that comprise the area.

After completing your mission 👊 and soaking your race bib, you will then have plenty of time to indulge in your favorite activities, whether sports, cultural, historical, religious, or gastronomic 🥳. Indeed, the Marrakech-Safi region is the perfect blend of wild nature and city buzz 🕺. You can, for example, continue on your streak by enjoying one of the hiking trails of the High Atlas or by taking a horseback ride 🐴, a donkey, or a camel 🐪. You can also go quad biking in the Agafay desert to observe the enchanted oasis 🤩 and take a dip after canoeing.

So, if you're still not convinced, know that we have other arguments ➡️. One of which is called "tajine", the other "couscous"... 🥘 You know what we're talking about? Your head must be in a souk 😏 with all this information! So we'll let you recover and we’ll meet you under the sun 🌞 of Marrakech, next June, in the Medina of the city 📍.
