The UNESCO World Heritage Draa Valley provides a dramatic backdrop for our double marathon distance challenge, across baked rocky trails, through red clay Berber villages, and palmeries, down to the sandy dunes of the mighty Sahara. After a tough day under the Moroccan sun, relax in our private Bedouin campsite with hot showers, dining tents, a bar with cold drinks, entertainment, and luscious local food.
2022 is the time for a new adventure – to invigorate & re-energise – so why not join us and do something amazing!
We fly from London to Marrakech on Thursday and transfer across the Atlas Mountains to our Base Camp beyond Ouarzazate. 3Â unforgettable nights at our Bedouin camp – with 2 tough marathons in between, before a welcome Marrakech hotel room and a bit of a celebration.
Home for 3 memorable nights, and the ‘home-comforts’ may surprise you! There’s proper plumed in toilets, hot showers, single occupancy tents, a massive dining area, entertainment, a bar, medical tent, and fantastic freshly prepared food by our local chefs.
Two 26 mile marathon distance challenges – at your pace. early starts on the both Friday and the scenery is varied & unforgettable. On Saturday we set off from base Camp and head down to the dunes on the edge of the Sahara, where a big cheer, a medal, and a cold drink await. If we have the energy – there’s plenty of time for a celebration meal & beer back at camp!
It’s your challenge, and our support is geared up to handle leisurely walkers, seasoned Ultra runners, and all in between. The route is fully signed, our fully stocked rest stops will keep you going, and we have pace walkers & runners out on the course to team up with.
