Rise Ultra is a five-day charity ultra in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains. Runners spend a day with an earthquake-affected village, then take on a single-day 60km trail run through the mountains around it, fundraising for the High Atlas Foundation along the way. First-time ultra runners are very welcome.

I went in blind, I’d never run more than 20km on a flat but I wanted a challenge, something to push me mentally and physically. This experience will stay with me for life, the people, the work put in, the views and the challenge of running the course. It was emotional, raw and like nothing else I’ve done. I will be back next year for sure
I went out to Morocco with Rise Ultra and ran 60k through the Atlas Mountains as my first ultra. What an experience. The event was really well run from start to finish by Alex and the team, and even though I knew going in that it would be more than a race, it's only when you're there and see it all in person that you realise just how much more.
Spending five days out there, I got to see the communities around Amizmiz up close. It was eye-opening to see the hardship people are still living with after the earthquake, but also how they're recovering. Taking part in the community days and helping out at the kids' race made it feel real, and I came away knowing the money raised by the team for the High Atlas Foundation will go a long way. It feels like this is just the start, and with the event coming back year after year, I can see it making a big difference to the local communities in the future.
I also made some really good friends from all over the world. Being together for five days, you get to know people properly, and they're people I'm looking forward to staying in touch with for a long time.
On a personal note, my mum loved running, and since she passed away this was a way for me to feel connected to her. Running my first ultra out there meant more to me than I can put into words.
Whatever brings you to it, whether that's the running, the fundraising or just meeting new people, I'd recommend it to anyone.
This project is truly remarkable; it functions less like a standard event and more like a vibrant community. Engaging with such brilliant individuals offers immense learning opportunities. Although you may arrive feeling anxious about meeting new people, you leave with a global network of friends and a supportive team dedicated to your success. It is an ideal environment for beginners looking to challenge themselves and gain a deeper understanding of the diverse daily experiences of others.
