The Trans Sahara Marathon is a desert-stage race through Morocco’s Draa Valley, combining distance running with the stark beauty of the Sahara. The course covers varied terrain—from wind-sculpted dunes to dry riverbeds and rocky plateaus—testing pacing, strategy, and heat management. With minimal distractions and wide horizons, this is endurance in its rawest form. The race is organized by Ahansal Events, founded by the legendary Ahansal brothers, known for their deep experience in Saharan racing. Nights are spent in desert camps, with local food and quiet skies. The event brings together experienced athletes and determined newcomers, all navigating the same unmarked paths through one of the world’s most iconic landscapes.
