Jonathan

Jonathan grew up in the United States and moved to Morocco in 2011 where he’s lived ever since. He’s been an avid runner since college, when he started running to lose weight, and now it’s a passion. Jonathan has completed several ultra marathons, many half and full marathons as well as a lot of shorter races. He starts most days with a run and loves running throughout Marrakech and other areas of Morocco.

He is a certified personal trainer and has coaching certification through USA Track and Field, so he can help if you are just getting back into running or are training for a marathon of your own.

Jonathan is married and has two kids and they love to get outside and be active whether it’s riding their bikes or just running down their street.

Ali

A native of Amizmiz, Ali is a qualified Moroccan Mountain guide as well as being an avid trail runner. He first began running the Atlas Mountains when he was in school, as cross-country running really appealed to him. His sense of humour is infectuous on the trail. He frequently accompanies tough mountain ascents with a song or two in Berber, to keep everyone’s spirits up.

His sense of understatement is also legendary. It’s not uncommon to hear him say such things as, “I’ve injured my toe so I can’t guarantee I’ll be any good today. Let’s just do something short like a 70k!”
