Running Adventures has teamed up with the incredible crew at Adventurous Ewe to bring you an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking Sahara Desert.

Few places on Earth compare to the raw beauty and vastness of the Sahara. Stretching along Morocco’s eastern border with Algeria, this iconic landscape is the world’s largest hot desert, a place of endless horizons, shifting sands, and unforgettable adventure.
Ever been fascinated by the Legendary Marathon des Sables, but don’t quite fancy the extreme distances, self-supported racing, or the price tag? Perhaps it’s a race you dream of taking on one day and you’d love to experience a taste of what it’s really like. Or maybe you simply want the chance to run through this extraordinary landscape and sleep beneath the stars with no one else around for miles. This adventure is designed for exactly that.

Your experience begins with a spectacular journey across the High Atlas Mountains before heading deep into the desert for an extraordinary running adventure. Traverse wide-open plains, winding wadis, dramatic plateaus, hidden villages, palm-filled gorges, dry riverbeds, and surreal moon-like landscapes. Shaped by the heat and desert winds, the terrain is constantly evolving, with mesmerising patterns and formations etched across the sands.

Beyond the trails, the cultural experience is just as memorable. Our Berber crew will prepare incredible home-cooked mealsbursting with flavour, from traditional tagines to freshly baked bread uncovered from desert ovens. Evenings are spent gathered beneath traditional Bedouin tents, sipping sweet mint tea beneath some of the clearest, star-filled skies imaginable.

​This is more than just a running trip, it’s an opportunity to disconnect from the noise of everyday life, reconnect with nature, and experience the simplicity and beauty of a nomadic way of life
