The story

Ultra Trail Amizmiz in Amizmiz/High Atlas

Ultra Trail Amizmiz brings trail runners into the High Atlas Mountains, staged in Amizmiz roughly 55 kilometers from Marrakech. Its 8th edition concluded on May 3, 2026, offering courses through Berber villages, walnut and olive forests, and dramatic mountain terrain. Distances range from a beginner-friendly 10km to a demanding 90km ultra with 4,000 meters of elevation gain, drawing both newcomers and experienced mountain runners.

Amizmiz sits in the foothills of the High Atlas, about an hour from Marrakech, in a landscape where terraced valleys, walnut groves and stone Berber villages climb toward peaks that stay snow-capped well into spring.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What separates Ultra Trail Amizmiz from typical mountain races is the sheer variety packed into one weekend of racing

02

The mystery stays covered

The signature UTA 90km demands roughly 4,000 meters of climbing from experienced ultra runners, while the UTA 42km offers a genuine mountain marathon with 1,836 meters of elevation gain, and shorter 20km and 10km options open the High Atlas to less experienced or time-constrained participants

03

The city starts moving

Courses wind through authentic Berber villages still lived in year-round, past walnut and olive groves clinging to valley slopes, and up toward hidden waterfalls and high passes rarely seen outside a race bib

04

The water draws everyone in

Now in its 8th edition, the event has built a loyal following among trail runners drawn as much to the cultural texture of rural Atlas life as to the terrain's physical demands
