The event in a few words
Have you heard of the International Day of the Argan Tree? ๐ณ Since 2021, May 10 has been dedicated to this tree, a symbol of resilience and prosperity in Morocco! ๐ To mark the occasion, the Agadir Half Marathon gathers runners from around the world to celebrate the Argan Tree Race! ๐ฅณ In 2022, the event started as a simple 5 km race for local children. Today, it has grown into an internationally recognized event, attracting over 4,700 athletes from across the globe! ๐
The Agadir Half Marathon continues to win the hearts of runners for three key reasons: the routes, its eco-friendly commitment, and its intimate scale ๐ค. Letโs start with the routes! With no elevation and options to run a half marathon or 10 km along the seaside... ๐ What more could you ask for? ๐คฉ As for being eco-friendly, it's a no-brainer: supporting the protection of the argan tree! The race aptly lives up to its name โ๏ธ, as it funds the conservation of Morocco's Green Gold ๐ฟ. When you register, you're contributing to a good cause, as a portion of the entry fee goes to associations supporting this effort! ๐ฅฐ What could be better than supporting a worthy cause while enjoying a magnificent beach? ๐ You'll be running along Agadir's city beach for a significant part of the race! ๐โโก๏ธ Stretching 6 km from the marina ๐ค to the seaside district of Citรฉ Founty ๐๏ธ, it truly feels like a vacation! ๐โโ๏ธ
And after crossing the finish line, why not explore the wonders of the Souss Massa region? ๐ Just an hour's drive away, delve into the Souss-Massa National Park and its breathtaking landscapes ๐ฌ๏ธ. For a taste of history, visit the town of Essaouira, famous for its UNESCO World Heritage medina and unique vibe. Looking for relaxation? Enjoy the stunning beaches of Taghazout and unwind under the Moroccan sun ๐๏ธ. If you're in the mood for romance, a stroll in the Paradise Valley is a must, with natural pools and lush landscapes ๐.
We're sure with all this, you'll be a winner! ๐
