Are you familiar with backyards, ultra-trails, quirky challenges, or long-distance challenges? ๐ฅต At Finishers, we offer many of these, but have you ever heard of the 24 Hours of the Wolf? ๐บ This event takes place in two unique locations: one in La Chapelle-en-Serval and the other in Morocco ๐ฒ๐ฆ at M'Hamid El Ghizlane ๐. We're focusing on the one set in the stunning Moroccan landscape ๐๏ธ. Are you eager to know what the race is all about? ๐ Letโs not keep you waiting any longer. The concept is simple: run 4 km every hour for 24 hours ๐ฑ. It may sound straightforward, but don't underestimate the challenge and physical demands it requires ๐โโ๏ธ. Believe it or not, few Finishers have completed the 24 Hours of the Wolf ๐. You control your pace, rhythm, and rest periods, with the sole goal of reaching the end. Naturally, you'll need to be in top physical shape, but mental preparedness is crucial too ๐ง . In the final hours, when your legs beg for mercy ๐ฆต, your mind will have to take over ๐ค. Join us in Morocco for this extraordinary experience, designed to feel like a vacation and make the challenge more bearable ๐ค. The location is fabulous, on the edge of the Sahara ๐ซ, in the province of Zagora. MโHamid El Ghizlane is a renowned starting point for desert excursions ๐ฃ.
To participate, plan for a 4-day trip. You'll likely arrive at Ouarzazate Airport โ๏ธ, and a bus will transport you to the bivouac site ๐๏ธ (a bit of camping never hurt anyone). On the second day, you'll start your day with breakfast, perfect to fuel the next 24 hours! โณ As expected, it's time to lace up your running shoes and begin the first 4 km. The rest is up to you ๐. Whether you finish victoriously or not, the following day is all about relaxation. Enjoy breakfast ๐ฝ๏ธ, a massage and wellness workshop ๐งโโ๏ธ, followed by a hearty dinner and a good sleep! ๐ด On the final day, like the first, the 24 Hours of the Wolf team will take you back to the airport, leaving you with unforgettable memories ๐คฉ.
If you'd like to extend your stay, it's the perfect opportunity. After all, youโve earned it, haven't you? ๐ Start with a desert tourโit's the right time and place. This vast, endless terrain is an ideal way to unwind after all your hard efforts and sweat ๐. If you opt to return to Ouarzazate ๐ค (another fantastic choice), prepare to be amazed! ๐ This city, with its stunning red-orange stone buildings, resembles a true oasis ๐ด. Explore the markets, the craftsmanship ๐บ, and everything the city offers! Your stay in Morocco could be an unforgettable experience โก.
