Marrakech Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming up later
Runners will face a temperature increase from 35°F at the start to 52°F by finish, with humidity at a comfortable 51%. Light winds at 4 mph will be a non-factor, but a headwind from miles 3 and 21-25 may require pacing adjustments. Runners should consider starting conservatively to adapt to warming conditions, especially during the mid-race tailwinds from miles 9-10 and 16-19.

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
