The province of Azilal has once again welcomed the caravan of Trans Atlas Marathon, in its 5th edition with a record number of nationalities registering at the start.
Set in the stunningly beautiful Moroccan High Atlas Mountains, the Trans Atlas Marathon Ultra is more than just a race, it's a life changing experience for those willing to test themselves to the limits of their endurance. Organised by five times Marathon des Sables winner, Mohamad Ahansal, TAM is designed to challenge the most hardened of ultra marathon runners, whilst at the same time, revealing a way of living that has existed, virtually unchanged, for hundreds of years.
The 280 km route divided into 6 stages will take the runners on a journey through lush green valleys, remote Berber villages and to the lofty peaks of North Africa's highest mountain range.
