Morocco's Atlas Mountains

THE EVENT

"Long miles, lasting impact. An adventure to change your life"

The Atlas Hope Ultra brings first-time ultra runners and

seasoned athletes together for a special all-inclusive 5-day experience in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, built around

a single-day 60km Ultra and two hosted community impact

days, to support and uplift earthquake-affected communities​​​​​.​​​​​

DOCUMENTARY

IMPACT

How Atlas Hope creates impact:​​
 
▹ Fundraising supports projects in Atlas Mountains communities.
▹ Paid local work (logistics, cooking, route support, aid stations)
▹ Event sponsors can fund specific community needs (e.g. winter supplies).
▹ Global awareness: the event amplifies long-term support for these villages.

The event is a fundraising challenge where you'll connect with the communities you've supported, who were affected by the 2023 earthquake in the Atlas Mountains. You'll then then take on the 60K Ultra on Day 3.

 

Fundraising is facilitated transparently through our partner, The High Atlas Foundationan award-winning Moroccan association & US non-profit.

OUR STORY

Atlas Hope was born from the desire to use Ultra running to ignite fundraising campaigns worldwide, designed to act as a collective force that uplifts disadvantaged communities. 

Morocco lacks impactful charity-based endurance events.

Our Ultra event will raise substantial funding to support underprivileged and affected Moroccan communities.
