Ah, the Terres dโAlmanar, their endless dunes and rugged mountains... ๐ If only there were a race to explore them ๐ฉ. But hold on, of course, there is one! And not just any race, it's the unique Morocco Trail Race in Tahannout! ๐ค In addition to offering a trail in the arid paths of the Terres dโAlmanar, the organization has introduced "premium package" stays this year, including accommodation and transportation ๐! You'll elevate the experience with restful sleep and start your race in this beautiful region of Marrakech-Safi ๐.
But beware, it's not just a simple race. No, my friend! It's a challenge that will make your thighs burn, your calves ache, and if you haven't brought enough water ๐ง, maybe even melt a little of your soul (well, perhaps we're exaggerating somewhat) ๐. The distances vary (because not everyone has the same definition of physical effort). For those who like long trails โฑ๏ธ (they're not ultra-trails), there's a 21 km course with 652 mD+, and a 35 km with 1030 mD+ ๐ช. If you prefer to take it easy, yes, you read that right: there are options for those who prefer "a bit less" suffering! ๐คจ If you're in that team, you can enter the 10 km with 346 mD+ or participate in the 5 km with 165 mD+ ! ๐คช Yes, this course exists, and it's for those who want to join a "crazy" race at their own pace! Don't be mistaken: a 5 km in the desert can be just as daunting as a marathon on asphalt โ๏ธ. Your shoes might end up serving as an hourglass! โณ
There's one more thing you need to know! The courses remain secret until the event begins ๐คซ. Yes, mystery is in the air. All you know is that the Morocco Trail Race takes place under the Moroccan sun and concludes by the end of the day, just before a well-deserved nap ๐ด. The unique setting of the Terres d'Amanar, with its breathtaking views of sunny Marrakech, creates a magical atmosphere that only 300 participants will have the chance to see! ๐ซ So don't wait any longer to register!
Of course, your stay takes place in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, so make the most of it! ๐ฒ๐ฆ There are many activities awaiting you. If you enjoyed this beautiful nature reserve at the Terres d'Almanar, it doesn't only offer endurance activities like running ๐โโ๏ธ. In similar themes, why not try a horseback ride or a little afternoon climbing? ๐งโโ๏ธ If you want to put sports activities in a bottle and throw them into the sea to retrieve them upon your return, you can certainly turn to manual activities ๐. Yes, yes, we highly suggest trying pottery! ๐บ
And if you wish, just like the bottle, to dive into the water ๐, don't wait any longer to grab your bib for the Morocco Trail Race! ๐
