Some of the best running in Fez is located in the Forêt d’ain Chkef, just south of the city center. Here, runners can find over 5k of smooth gravel and dirt pathways shaded by dense tree cover. A great option on a hot day! The main loop around the park is 3.7 km, and follows along the Oued Ain-Chqef for most of the way. There are also a number of scenic benches where runners can stop and enjoy the views, but there are also plenty of side trails to extend the route. Runners who wish to arrive from the center of Fez can do so via the Route Ain Chqef, which adds approximately 3 km.

Other Routes in Fez, Morocco
Run the streets of Fez’s pedestrian friendly medina (Fes El Bali) on our 8 km ‘runseeing’ tour. Highlights include the city walls, gardens, and leather tanneries.
One of the better options for a road run is the N6 highway between Fez and Meknes. Our favorite section is the wide sidewalk between Agdal and the Université Euro-Méditerranéenne de Fez, nearly 6 km.
The Parc Champ de Course is one of the larger green spaces in Fez. Runners can form a 1 km loop around its palm trees, paths, and gardens, then add on a jaunt to the Jardin de Nouveau Méchouar and back.
The Avenue Hassan II mixes the best of road running and park running together with a lovely median that spans ~2 km down the street.
This moderate trail run departs from the bustling streets of Fez and heads through farmland to great views of the city below. We’ve mapped a 7 km (one way) course.
