Anyone doing it ?

Yes. I did it last year and hope to be doing it again this year. Loved it despite unexpected and unusual weather. Easy to get to, well organised and good atmosphere. Great challenge and great country.

Mount Oakaimden is a a real challenge for any cyclist but great fun, and all for such a worthwhile cause (education for all morocco) - yes will definitely be back this April

Im 52 ride a lot , comute over 200 miles a month s this doable for me ? just thnkng of gradient im ok with long and shallow , no big kicks in this ?

You should find this straight forward. I am 63 and cycle about the same as you, although I spend a lot of time on hills. The gradient is not steep, just goes on a bit, but there are plenty of hairpins and beautiful scenery and villages etc to keep you interested. Perhaps a bit harder work on ordinary road gearing in places - rarely above 8% and much of it much less.
