Itzer Trail

The Itzer Trail Spring is back for its spring edition! 🌼 In the month of May, get ready for a wild experience in Itzer, in the region of the Moyen Atlas, in Morocco 🇲🇦. Distance-wise, there’s something for everyone with a trail of 100 km (2 800 mD+) for the fittest 💪, a half-marathon 56 km (1 300 mD+) for the brave 🕺, and a 10 km (150 mD+) for the challengers 😎. For this amazing event, the organizers have decided not to do things the usual way. Depending on your preferences, you can participate in 1 of the events, 2 of the events or 3 of the events! 📌

Let us explain: you’ll have the option to combine the 35 km and the 21 km to complete 56 km in two days! ⚡ Or, if you’re really up for a big challenge, you can register for the three races to complete 100 km! 🔥 You’ll kick off this getaway on Friday, May 16, 2025 with the 44 km, then you’ll tackle the 35 km the next day and finish with the 21 km on Sunday! 📆 In any case, this three-stage challenge will take you through a total of 100 km and 2 800 mD+! 🥵 Yes, for this one it’s best to start lace-up early in the year! 👟 If it helps, know that you will have the chance to run in some of the most beautiful places a runner could hope to traverse! 🏞️ And anyway, if you’re not ready for the 100 km, you can always opt for an easier distance—that’s what it’s there for 😉.

Since its inception in 2019, the race has focused on several important aspects: the fight against poverty, the implementation of development projects for the local communityor, more broadly, the creation of a culture of solidarity 🙌. Itzer is a rural commune in the province of Midelt, in the Moyen Atlas 🌍. It’s a protected area, far from mass tourism, where nature is master of its rights! 🌿 Let yourself be carried by the beauty of the landscape with, notably, the Lac Sidi Ali 💧, which will appear on your path like a mirage! The Ait Lhaj Itzer Damoffers a view of a majestic mountain range 🌄. So, yes, you’re probably wondering, and the answer is yes: in May, in this region of the Morocco, we hover around 20°C. It’s hot 🌡️ for running. So, don’t forget to pack right! A cap 🧢 and sunglasses 🕶️ belong in your bag! It’s in moments like these that you’ll be glad to learn you’ll also have a chance to roam through the oak and cedar forest 🌳. Yes, a little shade sometimes doesn’t hurt…

Even though it’s tough, you can also tell yourself that you’re running for a good cause. Indeed, the event places a strong emphasis on the nonprofit sector 🤝. By the end of 2024, the race’s association, founded by the youths of Itzer, had invested more than 400 thousand euros in numerous actions: the sponsorship of orphans, medical caravans, improvements and work in schools with donations of new school materials, tutoring and many other charity initiatives! ❤️

Running is also an opportunity for you to collaborate and help others! 💌 So, hooked by this Itzer Trail Spring sensational? 🤘
