Running the MARRAKECH MARATHON 2025 (full event experience)

The International Marathon of Marrakech is one of the most scenic and exciting road races in Morocco, hosting both a semi-marathon and full marathon distance. This video covers my full event experience—from the social run and race expo to a Marrakech walking tour, a stay at a traditional Moroccan riyāḍ as well as my race kit & fueling strategy for the marathon. If you're thinking about running in Morocco, this should give you a great feel for the event! As a trail runner, I normally stick to the forests and mountains, but this time, I made a one-time return to road running to chase a sub-3-hour marathon. Did I make it?
