About the Event

Beyond competition, the Atlas Mountain Race (February 6-14, 2026) is a profound personal undertaking through the heart of Morocco. This 1,350km unsupported journey from Beni-Mellal to Essaouira strips cycling down to its essentials: self-reliance, resilience, and the stark beauty of the Atlas Mountains. The 2026 route intensifies this quest, trading the iconic Telouet pass for the higher, more remote Tizi N’Aït Imi pass and the river trails of the M’Goun gorge. With no external support and vast distances between resupply points, this race from February 6-14, 2026, is less about winning and more about the raw, transformative experience of surviving one of the world's toughest bikepacking routes.
