9TH EDITION

200 km in 5 stages

From 10 to 17 October 2025

TZT Merzouga

The TZT Merzouga is an Ultra Trail of 200km in 5 stages in the Sahara Desert.

It’s a race of extremities : stepping into this adventure is accepting the extreme desert challenge but is also showing solidarity and supporting the local community and different local schools.

The 8th edition will take place from October 11 to 18, 2024.

Tears, laughs, joy and sunshine.

A human adventure!

Each year, the non-profit organization Run To Start organizes the TZTM in Morocco in order to raise funds for the different associative projects.

In 2021 and 2022 Run To Start organized also the Kasterlee Trail in Belgium in order to raise additional funds for the association. More infos about the Kasterlee Trail

Thanks to these events but also to other fundraising organized throughout the year the association Run To Start was able to expand and set up various projects for the Boutyouss region and with the moroccan association APCIZ in the region of Zagora, the region where the first editions of the TZT was held.
