Course & Elevation
The Casablanca Marathon, presented in 2026 as the Crédit du Maroc Casablanca Marathon, is Morocco's international marathon, held on the last Sunday of October in Morocco's largest city. It is organised by the Association des Coureurs du Grand Casablanca under the High Patronage of King Mohammed VI. The first Grand Marathon International de Casablanca was run on 26 October 2008, and the 2026 race was the 17th edition. The start and finish are on Boulevard Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah, facing rue Regraga, next to the Hassan II Mosque. In 2026 the marathon started at 07:00, a four-person relay of 4 × 10.5 km at 07:15 and the half marathon at 08:15. The organisers describe a course that links the city's emblematic sites, and the 2026 race used a new route. The marathon course is World Athletics and AIMS certified, and the 2026 marathon was awarded a World Athletics Elite Label. The time limit is 6 hours for the marathon and 3 hours for the half marathon. A race village at Espace Sacré-Cœur on Boulevard Rachidi serves as bib collection from the Wednesday before the race.
