BikingMan, ultracycling pioneer
Founded by cycling explorer Axel Carion, BikingMan is the world’s first championship for ultracycling races. For the first time in Morocco, this edition inaugurates a gravel event, combining physical challenge and immersive adventure. Marrakech, the event’s base camp, offers an ideal setting with its spectacular roads, breathtaking landscapes, and a climate conducive to long-distance riding.
A magnificent course in the High Atlas
The route takes riders on a network of gravel tracks around the “red city.” On the program: picturesque villages, breathtaking panoramas, and the ascent of the Oukaïmeden pass, perched at over 3,000 m altitude. A challenge where endurance, strategy, and connection with nature come together.
A new era for cycling
Ultracycling events, like those of BikingMan, redefine modern cycling. They demand total commitment, deep introspection, and absolute respect for the territories crossed. More than a race, BikingMan Maroc is a human and sporting experience that pushes the limits of what is possible.
