Great Runs in Casablanca, Morocco

Note: For the Full Guide to Running in Casablanca, see the GR Website

Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco, and with its location on the Atlantic Ocean, an important port and economic center. The former French colony is an interesting mix — the Old Medina area was destroyed by the French but has undergone some restoration, while the French designed ‘New Town as a model city, with wide boulevards radiating south and east from United Nations Square. The situation for running in Casablanca is also a mix: there’s a lot of congestion and poor air quality, so we recommend sticking to the waterfront, and some select streets and neighborhoods.
