Eco Trail® "MOROCCO" is a running race in a desert environment, on a 70 km distance split on 3 stages in 4 days.

This is the first EcoChallenge organized in Morocco, for sustainable development and respect for the environment with included tourism management.

It is also an opportunity to climb up mountains and to go through arid lanes, palm groves, sandy zones, oases as well as cinema shooting places where some famous films as Kundun, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, la Momie, Astérix and Obélisque were shot.

This Trail is meant not only to be sporting event, but also to be an opportunity of discovering a new territory and rare places, the chosen course allowing to give pleasure to athletes who will run across natural full landscapes and close to authentic architectural monuments.
