The Casablanca International Marathon is an emblematic event which brings together thousands of runners each year around a common passion, while celebrating the soul of the white city.
Following numerous suggestions from participants and sports associations, the local authorities, elected officials and security services of the city of Casablanca were sensitive to this collective request and decided in consultation with the Royal Moroccan Athletics Federation (FRMA) to move the start of the 15th edition of the Casablanca International Marathon which will take place on Sunday October 27, 2024 in front of the Wilaya of the Casablanca-Settat Region (Place Mohammed V). Edition placed under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
The Wilaya is a strong symbol, embodying the authority and organization which guarantee the security and smooth running of the event. Launching the marathon from this location is a way of recalling the connection between institutions and citizens, uniting their efforts to make this sporting event a real source of local pride.
In addition, the Wilaya of Casablanca is located in an emblematic location of the city, offering a majestic setting for the departure of runners. This site, rich in history and architecture, reinforces the identity of the event and gives participants a unique experience.
In terms of logistics, this location is in direct proximity to tram lines and an underground car park, making access easier for participants and spectators. In addition, its immediate proximity to the marathon village makes it a strategic point, guaranteeing better organization and fluidity for all operations.
Aware of the importance of this race for the city, the local authorities welcome the involvement of all stakeholders and reaffirm their desire to make the marathon a large-scale event, both on a sporting and symbolic level. The choice of departure in front of the Wilaya is a decision which reflects this ambition to link tradition, modernity and cohesion around a significant event..
