What about transportation?
- Due to local laws and higher costs associated with us arranging transportation, we do not offer transportation services for any of our current city or Palmeraie runs. We do this in an effort to keep our prices low for you as our customer.
- If you wish, we can give you detailed instructions of how to use Marrakech's public transportation (taxi, bus) to one of our meeting locations.
- For our trail runs we can arrange for a local licensed and dependable driver to pick you up at or near your hotel
How will I meet my coach?
Most of our runs will begin and end near the Koutoubia Mosque which is just outside of the famous Jmaa El Fnaa square. Our coaches will arrive 5-10 minutes before your scheduled run and will wait around for you 15 minutes after the scheduled meeting time
For any run in the old city:
- You will meet your coaches near the mosque
- He/she will be easy to identify as the person in running clothes wearing a runners backpack
- Note: If you are staying near Jmaa El Fnaa, this is an easy walk. Otherwise from most hotels near the city center, this will be just a short taxi ride
For the runs located in the Palmeraie Resort area:
- You will be emailed with the exact location of where to meet, but your coach will likely be the only one standing around with a running pack waiting for someone.
- This will be a short taxi ride from most areas in the city and is known by taxi drivers
- You will be responsible for getting to and from the run starting point (taxis are very easy to get)
What is the weather like in Marrakech?
For all but possibly a month the weather in Marrakech is great for running. During the summer, especially during July, the temperature during the afternoons can reach into the 100's (Fahrenheit).
When the temps reach this high during the summer we will not be scheduling tours except for in the mornings and in the evenings.
