Ah, the Terres d’Almanar, their endless dunes and their rugged mountains… 👟 If only there were a race that offered a way to discover them 😩. But wait a second—of course there is! And not just any race: it’s the one and only Morocco Trail Race in Tahannout! 🤠 In addition to offering a trail through the arid paths of the Terres d’Almanar, the organization has set up this year “premium pack” stays, with accommodation and transport included 😎! You’ll take immersion up a notch, with restful sleep and the start of your race in this beautiful region of Marrakech-Safi 🌇.
But beware, this isn’t just a simple race. No, my friend! It’s a challenge that will melt your thighs, burn your calves and, if you haven’t taken enough water 💧, maybe even melt a little of your soul (okay, we might be exaggerating a bit there) 😂. Distances vary (because not everyone has the same definition of physical effort). For those who like long trails ⏱️ (they’re not ultra-trails either), there’s the 21 km course and its 652 mD+, and there’s also the 35 km with 1030 mD+ 💪. Well, if you prefer to take it easy, yes, you read that right: there are also options for those who prefer “a little less” suffering! 🤨 If you’re part of that team, you can sign up for the 10 km with 346 mD+, or take part in the 5 km and its 165 mD+! 🤪 Yes, this course exists, and it’s intended for those who want to take part in a “crazy” race but at their own pace! Don’t be mistaken: a 5 km in the desert can be just as daunting as an asphalt marathon ☝️. Your shoes might end up serving as an hourglass! ⏳
There’s still one more thing you need to know! The routes remain secret until the start of the event 🤫. Yes, mystery is part of the deal. All the information you have is that the Morocco Trail Race takes place under the Moroccan sun and ends at the end of the day, just before a well-deserved nap 😴. The unique setting of Terres d'Amanar, with its breathtaking views over sunny Marrakech, creates a magical atmosphere that only 300 participants will have the chance to see! 🎫 So don’t wait any longer to sign up!
Of course, your stay takes place in one of the most beautiful countries in the world, so you might as well make the most of it! 🇲🇦 For that, plenty of activities are available to you. If you liked this beautiful natural reserve of the Terres d'Almanar, it doesn’t only offer endurance activities like running 🏃♂️. In similar themes, why not go for a horse ride, or a little afternoon of climbing? 🧗♀️ If you want to bottle up sports activities to throw them into the sea and find them again when you return, you can of course turn to hands-on activities 👋. Yes yes, we strongly suggest you try pottery!🏺
And if you’d like, just like the bottle, to jump into the water 🌊, don’t wait any longer to grab your bib for the Morocco Trail Race! 😉
