Cycling Events in Marrakech - Argan Sports Community Rides

Every year, here at AXS Argan Sports in Marrakech, we stay very active within the Moroccan community. Not only with our charity arm, Argana Association for Human Development, but we participate in many other charity events, donating bikes, staff, and, most importantly, our time. We also promote sustainable tourism and community travel.

Along with charity events, Argan Sports coordinates Team-Building events that enrich the bond within individual companies.

We emphasize the 5 Cs: Communication, Creativity, Coordination, Capitalizing on team members’ strengths, and Charting success in advance with implementation.

We also conduct high-altitude cycling camps and offer numerous training runs for professionals worldwide.

Argan Sports has designed Cycling camps for riders year-round. Marrakech’s accommodating weather allows those to train here when they cannot train at home. We have conducted our cycling camps for the novice to the professional rider. We gather information from the riders themselves and then package a camp that will leave you not only in better riding condition but with memories that you will always cherish.

Join us for your charity or work event, and let us grow together and enjoy the incredible scenery of Marrakech, Morocco.

We had the opportunity to host an all inclusive camping/biking trip for the wonderful kids from St. Ignatius School out of Australia. We had 16 kids along with 3 adults that trusted us for an incredible time and it went great. We provided 3 meals a day, snacks, water, bikes, camp grounds, and three great mountain biking tours for our wonderful guests from down under.

AXS donated bike rentals to the Agadir Triathlon and provided free bike maintenance to all athletes.

2015 was an excellent year for the Agadir Triathlon. Even AXS co-founder Timothy Madden participated, along with AXS-sponsored athlete Karim Mouchario. This annual event has continued every year since 2015, and we hope to see you again next year!

AXS donated staff and bikes to o sponsor Le Méridien N’FIS Marrakech’s charity bike ride for the 2015 edition Road to Awareness. Each year employees of Starwood hotels & Resorts around the world organize sport and / or cultural events as part of the humanitarian program entitled “Road to Awareness” (R2A) in order to raise funds for Charity programs, which will be used primarily to support disadvantaged children, allowing them access to health care, education and fighting against malnutrition. This year like 2013 went great and we had a wonderful turnout and raised awareness for disadvantaged children.

The Marrakech Atlas Etape (MAE) was formed by AXS Argan Sports co-founder/president Saif Kovach and Education for All co-founder Mike McHugo. This excellent charity ride from Marrakech to Oukaïmeden is a classic ascent to rank with any classic climbs in the Tour de France.

The MAE was named by the Telegraph as one of the best cycling events of 2015. READ HERE.

The MAE directly benefits Education for All (EFA), a Moroccan NGO. EFA runs girls’ boarding houses near secondary colleges, which allows some girls from rural families to continue their education. Join us for this great charity ride, which will not only give you a lifetime experience but also help so many.
