The most popular running route in Marrakech (and one of the better options for a longer length run) is a simple straight shot along Boulevard Mohamed VI. This 8 km (one way) street runs diagonally across the city, from P2006 in Champ El Ghoul in the north to P2017 in Agdal in the south. A wide stone paved walkway lines the center median for the entirety of the boulevard, featuring gardens, fountains, and palm trees. There are also sidewalks on either side of the road, which is relatively lightly trafficked. The major highlight along the way is the Oliveraie Park. Runners can add a loop of Oliveraie or continue into the Menara Gardens/Cyber Park for more distance.

Our 10 km 'runseeing tour' of Marrakesh includes several of the city's main sites: numerous palaces and gardens, the Koutoubia Mosque, Place de l’Hivernage, Place des Ferblantiers, Saadien’s Tombs & more. Go early to beat the heat and crowds!
The beautiful and historic Menara Gardens offer about 4 km of paths. Extend your route along Avenue Prince Moulay Rachid and add loops of Oliveraie Park/Cyber Park for a longer run.
Take a long run of up to 18 km on the wide dirt path outside the time-tested Medina Walls. It’s a good way to explore the historic old city while avoiding the crowds, and can be shortened by passing back through any gate.
A prize section of the Walls of Medina, or a great run on its own, the grounds of the Agdal Gardens feature over 10 km of pathways through orchards. Continue on Oasis Hassan II/ Route Golf Royal for a longer loop.
For those staying in the popular resort area to the north of Marrakech, this is a convenient nearby run. Follow our 10 km loop of the Route des Jardins de la Palmaraie in combination with the east bank of Oued Issil.
