About the Morocco Backyard Ultra: The One
Morocco Backyard Ultra: The One stages the classic last-person-standing format in Maamora Forest near Salé. Runners start a 6.706 km yard every hour and continue until one person completes the final loop alone.
The event's intentionally simple support model puts preparation on each runner: entrants bring their own chair, food, hydration and lighting, while the organizer provides a shared base and periodic hot food. That self-managed rhythm becomes increasingly important as the race extends overnight.
Course
The race repeats the same 6.706 km forest loop for every yard, with roughly 200 feet of climbing reported for the circuit. Runners return to the same rest and crew zone before each hourly start.
Race-day weather
Late March near Salé is usually mild, with warmer daylight and cooler overnight hours. Rain and coastal wind remain possible in the Maamora Forest setting.
