The story

Casablanca International Marathon in Casablanca

The Casablanca International Marathon has run annually since 2008, positioning itself as a leading marathon reference across Africa and the Mediterranean. The 2026 edition, its 17th, takes place October 25, offering full marathon, half marathon and team relay formats. The course passes landmarks including the Hassan II Mosque and stretches along the Atlantic coastline, with the race weekend expanding into a citywide festival of music and food.

Casablanca launched its international marathon in 2008, entering a road-running calendar already crowded with established races across North Africa.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Casablanca's marathon distinguishes itself through scenery few road races anywhere can match: the route runs past the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, with the Atlantic Ocean visible along significant stretches of the course

02

The mystery stays covered

Since launching in 2008, the race has steadily built ambitions beyond a single event, positioning itself as a reference marathon for the wider African and Mediterranean regions rather than a purely local fixture

03

The city starts moving

Format flexibility broadens its appeal, offering a full marathon and half marathon for individual runners alongside a relay-marathon option that lets teams split the distance

04

The water draws everyone in

Beyond the finish line, the race has grown into a citywide occasion, with a marathon village, food trucks and live music extending the celebration well past the runners
