Marathon International de Casablanca
If you're excited to take on a challenge ๐ , head over to the land of the Casaoui ๐ค. Casablanca will welcome you with open doors ๐ช to its rich history. Want to make your own mark? Grab your running shoes ๐ and choose from one of the three races: marathon, half marathon, or a brisk 10 km! ๐โโ๏ธ
Casablanca is a place where history and modernity blend seamlessly โณ. As the economic powerhouse ๐ฐ and the largest city in the Maghreb, it thrives on its forward-looking spirit and historical grandeur ๐๏ธ, making it one of the most attractive spots in Morocco ๐ค . Keep your eyes wide open ๐คฉ to marvel at the city's historical architecture, including the stunning Hassan II Mosque ๐, which is among the largest mosques in the world ๐. Built nearly 40 years ago with superb technical feats ๐๏ธ, part of it elegantly extends over the sea ๐ณ. If they can build on the ocean, you can certainly run alongside the famous Atlantic Ocean! ๐คธ You'll get the unique experience of finishing your marathon with the Moroccan waves refreshing your mind ๐ฌ๏ธ.
Make the most of this event ๐ by exploring the surroundings of "Dar El Beรฏda" (yes, it means white house in Arabic โ๏ธ, and no, not the one in the USA). Head over to Rabat, the capital, to visit the Hassan Tower or the Kasbah of the Udayas for a spectacular view of the Atlantic Ocean ๐. Alternatively, take a trip to El Jadida and its Portuguese city, a site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Incredible, right? ๐
And if architecture and history aren't quite your cup of tea โ, we still recommend you have one, as it's the national drink in Morocco. The details matter in tasting the best tea of your life ๐โโ๏ธ. It's a true Casablanca specialty ๐ซถ. If someone offers you tea, take it as a gesture of affectionโit symbolizes hospitality and warmth in the Land of the Setting Sun ๐. Plus, it's essential to stay hydrated after enjoying a couscous or a tagine ๐ฒ. No excuses for not delighting your taste buds ๐. In Morocco, sharing is a fundamental cultural value, and it's a trait that will certainly benefit you in running as well ๐.
A thousand flavors and scents will greet the runners who participate in this race, so make sure to sign up! ๐
