This is an easy trail run in the Agafay Desert, just 30 minutes drive from Marrakech. The trail winds up and down gullys and over some dramatic raised mounds. Views of the High Atlas Mountains to the south are breathtaking, especially when snow-capped.
This trail run near Marrakech is a half-marathon distance, plenty of time to enjoy the experience of being in the desert and feel very far from civilisation. Views of small oases and palm trees in the gullys typify the desert experience.
The far point of the run goes through an old abandoned village. the mud-brick houses stand testimony to the people who once lived here.
Starting and ending at the dam (barrage) of Lalla Takerkoust, there are plenty of options for a delicious tajine lunch after the run if desired.
