Several main roads in Casablanca will be closed to traffic and parking on Sunday, October 26, from 6:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., as part of the 16th edition of the Casablanca Marathon, organizers announced Friday.

The restrictions, established under municipal decision No. 320, aim to ensure runner safety and meet international standards for large-scale road races, the Association des coureurs du Grand Casablanca said.

Closures will affect key thoroughfares including Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah, Zerktouni, the Corniche, Abdelhadi Boutaleb, Route d’Azemmour, Gandhi, Al Massira Al Khadra, Hassan II, Anfa, Bourgogne, Idriss Saloui, Moulay Rachid, and Kennedy. Vehicles parked in restricted zones will be towed.

Detours will be clearly marked, with police and emergency services mobilized to manage traffic flow. The marathon is expected to draw thousands of Moroccan and international runners across full and half-marathon courses.
