Toubkal Trail Running minibreak

Get away from the city and the business of everyday life! Come and join us on the trail running weekend of a lifetime. Marrakech is just a short flight from Europe, and you can be in the Atlas Mountains in an hour. This holiday will allow you to run up the highest mountain in North Africa and still be back home in time for work on Monday morning.

Discover the unique berber culture, run in the Atlas Mountains, conquer the highest peak and taste the delicious moroccan cuisine.

You will be professionally guided by an International Mountain Leader who comes from Great Britain. Fully trained in first aid and mountaineering, he runs regularly in this environment and has made his home here.

Toubkal is the highest mountain in North Africa. This mini-break will allow you the time to acclimatize to the altitude and adapt to the terrain of the Atlas Mountains, giving you every chance of success on summit day.

Not for the faint-hearted, this is a long weekend of hard running. You must be capable of running a half-marathon in the mountains. In your training you will most likely have run up several mountains already. If you want suggestions on how to prepare for this epic run then please get in touch.

We can provide this long-weekend for individuals and groups. Running up Jebel Toubkal is an amazing goal and would make a good objective for a running club or group of running friends to aim for.

We organise all the logistics including taxis, mule support, food and accommodation. And we guide the runs ourselves. So you really have nothing to worry about. Book now for an epic weekend of running in the Atlas Mountains!
