What people are saying
★★★★★
"I love running in new places and new cultures, but this is a way to really immerse, and not just visit as a tourist. It's raw, it's emotional, but that's how it should be."
Ade — pro ultrarunner
★★★★★
"It's had a massive impact on my life. Running through these areas, it motivates me to keep on going — because you're not just doing it for yourself, you're doing it for the cause."
Gav — first-time ultrarunner
The week
Five days built around a single-day 60km ultra and real connection with the communities you're funding.
1: Meet the communities
A hosted day with the High Atlas Foundation — you meet the people you're running for before you run a step. This is the heart of the week.
2: Run the 60km ultra
A single-day ultra through the High Atlas on Day 3. No cut-off time. Seasoned trail runners and first-timers on the same start line.
3: A life-changing experience
An all-inclusive week in Morocco that leaves you with friendship, perspective, and a purpose that stays with you long after you've flown home.
Meet the communities first. Then run for them.
Why we exist
In September 2023, a 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck the High Atlas — Morocco's deadliest in over sixty years. Three years on, these communities are still rebuilding.
Where your money goes
Part of every entry funds paid roles in logistics, cooking, route support, aid stations and village projects.
We set up a page through the High Atlas Foundation and help you hit your goal. 100% goes to earthquake recovery.
The event keeps these villages visible and funded year-round, well beyond the recovery window.
Day by day
