I did this race as part of a double-header (with the Trail Marathon de Mount Agou the following day, by the same organisers). It was a genuine privilege to run in these events. The routes were well-thought-out, the drinks stations were stocked with fresh fruit and the signage was good. But the thing that struck me most was the feeling of community. The small field was half Togolese and half 'tourists', but running is the great leveller - we were all in it together. Everyone chatted before, during and after the runs, and when we finished we were greeted with such warmth by the residents of the local town, who cheered, played music and danced until the last runner came home. Highly recommended for an out-of-the-ordinary marathon that will exceed all your expectations!

This race made me fall in love with trail running. Though it was s small race, it was very well organized with plenty of support along the course. The best part of the race was the beautiful scenery, several butterflies that flew alongside and the hidden waterfalls we ran past. I will run it again
