What people are saying

Hear it from the runners

★★★★★

"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

Part adventure, part purpose

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

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.

Secure your place

Meet the communities first. Then run for them.

Why we exist

You run for them

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

Local jobs & paid work

Part of every entry funds paid roles in logistics, cooking, route support, aid stations and village projects.

Optional runner fundraising

We set up a page through the High Atlas Foundation and help you hit your goal. 100% goes to earthquake recovery.

Long-term support

The event keeps these villages visible and funded year-round, well beyond the recovery window.

Questions

Good to know.

Do I need to be an experienced runner?+

No. There's no cut-off time, and many of our runners take on their first ultra here. You'll have months of training support beforehand — seasoned runners and first-timers line up together.

Can I pay in instalments?+

Yes, and it's the standard option — €500 today, €725 on 31 August, €725 on 30 September. No credit check and no third party involved.

Klarna is also available at checkout if you'd rather split it further, and paying in full saves you €100.

Is the deposit refundable?+

Your €500 deposit is fully refundable for 30 days after you book.

Do I need to book my own flights?+

Yes. Flights are the main thing not covered, along with personal travel insurance and lunch on Day 1.

Can I upgrade my room or bring a guest?+

Yes. A private room is +€450 — standard entry includes a premium room shared with one other runner. A non-running guest can join for +€650.

Where is the event based?+

The Taj Atlas Hotel, about an hour's drive south-west of Marrakech. Airport transfers are covered by your entry.
