Race Info
The Marrakech Marathon runs each January in Marrakech, Morocco, and drew more than 16,000 runners across the marathon and half marathon in 2026. The flat, single-lap course passes the city's 12th-century ramparts and the Menara Gardens before finishing on Avenue de la Menara behind the Sofitel hotel. Morocco's Abdelhadi Labäli and Hayat Benhniya won the 2026 men's and women's titles in 2:07:34 and 2:24:48, the latter a women's course record. The race carries a World Athletics Label and is a Boston Marathon qualifier. Wikipedia
