You will be driven 30mins up the tahnout valley to the start point. We will then take you for a run which is like nothing else you have ever experienced.

From here we head down through a couple of berber villages, with the option of stopping for mint tea with a local family should you wish.

We follow the ridge as it gently curves down towards a spectacular limestone gorge, then regain the Imenan valley and a couple more villages before we get to imlil valley where you’ll have lunch with a Berber family, Truly, the mountain run of a lifetime!
