Love Trail

Lose yourself in the vast and enchanting landscapes of Morocco's Eastern Desert as part of the Love Trail. This 5-day adventure offers an intimate connection with nature, featuring three days of trail running over a total distance of 84 kilometers—100% women-only, celebrating sisterhood under open skies.
The event takes place in late October when temperatures hover comfortably between 20°C and 28°C during the day, cooling to around 10°C to 13°C at night. This climate ensures runners are challenged without being overwhelmed by extremes, allowing them to focus on the stunning scenery that unfolds with each step.
The route is meticulously crafted for accessibility while maintaining an engaging pace. Day one kicks off with a challenging 32 kilometers, followed by a slightly more relaxed day two of 20 kilometers, and concludes in style with another 32-kilometer push on day three. Each segment takes runners through secret sand valleys, rocky plateaus, and other unique terrains that are rarely seen by tourists.
Running loops around a fixed bivouac simplifies logistics for participants. Gear is stored at the base camp each night, allowing runners to start fresh with only their trail vest in hand every morning. This setup ensures comfort during runs and returns, making it easier to enjoy evenings under starlit skies without worrying about carrying heavy loads.
The experience extends beyond running; it fosters connections through shared meals around a cozy fire, mint tea conversations, and laughter among runners from different corners of the globe. The event begins in Oujda, where shuttles transport participants to their starting point near the desert. After three days of trail running, the final day is reserved for transportation back to Oujda.
For those looking to extend their stay, exploring the Lalla Aicha park—a lush green oasis—provides a serene contrast to the arid beauty experienced during the race. The city's souk offers an array of unique souvenirs and local flavors that will tantalize your taste buds with dishes like traditional couscous and pastilla.
