This extraordinary race offers a unique fusion of tradition and athleticism, challenging runners amidst an environment rich with timeless beauty and dynamic cultural flair. As the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco, Fez holds steadfast to its heritage, offering a contrast to the modernity of Casablanca and the glamour of Marrakech. The Medina of Fez, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stands as one of the Arab world's most beautiful and well-preserved areas. Established in the 9th century, it is home to one of the oldest universities in the world. Exploring the medina means delving into its intricate alleys, revealing varied neighborhoods and hidden architectural treasures. With its foundouks, madrasas, mosques, and gardens, the medina's rich history is on display at every turn. More authentic than the medina in Marrakech, Fez's medina has retained its enduring values and traditions.
