Rabat’s international and local communities will come together on June 4 for the Peace Run Rabat, a solidarity race for peace, development and inclusion, organized by the Swiss and Danish Embassies.
Initiated under the high patronage of King Mohamed VI, and in partnership with the Fédération Royale Marocaine d’Athlétisme (FRMA), this 5th edition of the Peace Run, an international sporting event, aims to promote the values of peace, unity and friendship, and is an opportunity for the international and local community of Rabat to meet and share through the practice of sport, say the organizers.
They point out that the UN has recognized that through the values it conveys, such as tolerance and respect, sport is a tool for development and peace.
The Peace Run, which takes place on June 4 at 8.30 a.m., will feature a 9.5-kilometer route carefully chosen to allow participants to discover the Moroccan capital’s emblematic sites while running for peace.
This 5th edition will be a unique opportunity to celebrate cultural diversity and strengthen ties between communities. By taking part in this event, runners will express their commitment to a better world, where peace and harmony are at the heart of our common concerns.
For Switzerland, the event echoes its participation as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the period 2023-2024, and further underlines Switzerland’s unwavering commitment to world peace.
For Denmark, the event also marks Danish Constitution Day on June 5, a day on which all Danes celebrate democracy, freedom of expression and freedom of assembly.
