Join Dune Desert Marathon. Run in the Desert 2026
Run a marathon, half marathon or 10k in the desert. (5 days program)
The Merzouga dune is a place full of exoticism, but with all the services and the best hotels to make it an unforgettable experience. Recognized events such as the Paris Dacar, the Titan Desert or Desert des sables have started from this enclave and we will have the logistics that support these competitions for the Dune marathon, half marathon and 10k.
The race is practically flat but we will enter two sectors with dunes to enjoy the experience. All participants will run with a geolocator and we will carry several support vehicles, although the circuit is easy to run and very visible.
We will be staying in 4 * hotels but we will live the experience of doing a camel route, buggies activity or one night in haima in the dunes with all the comforts.
The trip also includes the marathon and all its services, transfers from the airport, 4 * hotels, one night in haimas transfers from the airport, 4 * hotels, one night in haima tents, buggies activity and a route on camels.
This race is a part of the wildmarathon series championship. (Tanzania, Finland, Nepal, Morocco and Mexico)
