Amizmiz-Marrakech Trail 2025

Happy Birthday! 🥳

Wait, it’s not today? 🤔 But it is! Surprise, you didn't know it, but you'll soon be showered with gifts 🎁. More specifically, at the end of April 2025, during the 7th edition of the Ultra Trail Amizmiz event! For this festive competition, we're taking you to Morocco, in the quaint town of Amizmiz, just 55 km away from the beautiful Marrakech. Put on your running shoes... because we're offering you a competition where you'll surely find the perfect fit 👟. Multiple trail courses are available: 10 km, 22 km, 42 km, 64 km, 90 km (also available as a relay for two) and kids' courses 👧. You'll quickly see that the setting is absolutely stunning as you'll have the chance to run in the High Atlas mountain range, between a rocky desert and snow-capped mountains 🏔. Tempted yet? Come, let’s chat more over a nice cup of mint tea 🫖.

Trail Maroc, which hosts four competitions annually, is back with the 7th edition of the Ultra Trail Amizmiz 🏃‍♂️. The event takes place in the village of Amizmiz, in the Marrakech-Safi region, close to the former royal capital, Marrakech 🇲🇦. With breathtaking views of the arid desert and the snow-capped High Atlas (dubbed "the roof of Morocco" 🛖), the upcoming race promises a wealth of unique landscapes. Moreover, this natural beauty is well-preserved, thanks in part to marathoners who annually collect several tons of trash from the area ♻. The trails use existing paths, biodegradable materials are utilized, and the routes are regularly cleaned to adhere to the sustainable ambitions of these nature lovers 💚. It's proof that it’s possible (and necessary!) to combine a love for outdoor sports with a commitment to ecology! Additionally, the organizers have considered everything: this competition also offers a social dimension to its participants! Most of the funds will go to the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Morocco in September 2023, causing numerous casualties, injuries, and displaced people 🙏.

After completing your charitable deed and earning your race bib, you'll have ample time to indulge in your favorite activities, whether they be sportive, cultural, historical, religious, or gastronomical 🥳. Indeed, the Marrakech-Safi region perfectly blends untamed nature and urban dynamism. You could continue your adventure by enjoying one of the hiking trails in the High Atlas, taking a horse, donkey, or camel ride, or quad biking in the Agafay Desert to view the enchanting oasis 🤩. Canoeing, kayaking, golf... The opportunities for outdoor activities are abundant, and enthusiasts will marvel at the richness of the local wildlife in the Toubkal National Park, home to gazelles, lynxes, leopards, jackals, and raptors 🦅. The flora is equally impressive, which you’ll see during your runs 🌳. Yes, you'll be amazed by the region's biodiversity as you pass by the eucalyptus forest and olive groves or visit the gardens of the Menara and Majorelle 🌵.

Still not convinced? We have more reasons. One of them is called "tagine", and another, "couscous"... 🥘 You know what we’re talking about, right? Your head must be in a souk 😏 with all this information. So, we’ll let you take it all in and look forward to seeing you under the sun of Marrakech next April, in the city's Medina. And if, unfortunately, you can’t make it to the competition, know that you can immediately dry your tears and start looking into the Trail or Bike Takerkoust, the Trail Aurocher Oukaimeden, or the Trail or Bike Marrakech. All these events are also organized by Trail Maroc. Clearly, they have all the best intentions! 🫶
