Ultra Trail Relais Maroc

Immerse yourself in the heart of Morocco, where the High Atlas Mountains meet the rugged Sahara Desert, and experience an unforgettable adventure at the Ultra Trail Relay Morocco. This unique race offers runners the chance to explore breathtaking landscapes while supporting a worthy cause.
The event takes place in Ouarzazate, known as the gateway to the desert, offering participants not just a sporting challenge but also a cultural immersion. The 103-kilometer course can be tackled solo or shared among friends and family members who will each cover varying distances depending on their preference—51 kilometers for duos and 25 kilometers per person in teams of four.
The Ultra Trail Relay Morocco is meticulously organized to ensure participants are well-catered throughout the journey. Upon arrival, runners are greeted like royalty at Ouarzazate’s airport before being transported to a centrally located hotel where they will be accommodated for five nights. This includes meals and an opportunity on day four to explore local culture through a guided excursion that may include tea with a host family.
The route itself is diverse, traversing the stunning Skoura Oasis plateau at over 1,200 meters above sea level. Participants can choose their pace, from pushing for top performance to taking in the scenic beauty of palm groves and rocky terrain. The race not only celebrates athletic achievement but also raises awareness about breast cancer through its partnership with Endur’Ensemble, an association dedicated to promoting health and fitness during illness.
Competitors should be prepared for warm temperatures typical of May in Ouarzazate’s Drâa-Tafilalet region, where the climate is desert-like yet cooled by mountain breezes. Proper hydration and appropriate gear are essential as participants navigate this challenging but rewarding course.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or an adventure enthusiast looking to make a difference, the Ultra Trail Relay Morocco promises an exhilarating blend of sport, culture, and solidarity.
