The Excitement Builds for the International 10K by We Casablanca
Casablanca is set to come alive with the thrill of running as it prepares to host the much-anticipated "International 10K by We Casablanca" on Sunday, May 17. This event marks a significant occasion in the city's sporting calendar, promising to attract a vibrant community of runners eager to participate in this exhilarating race.
According to the organizers, nearly 15,000 runners are expected to take part, reflecting a substantial increase in interest compared to previous years. In the 2025 edition, over 12,000 participants from 52 countries had already showcased the event's growing appeal. The International 10K has progressively established itself as a staple in the African running scene, embodying Casablanca's ambition to enhance its reputation as a premier international destination for urban sports, driven by a wave of modernization and openness.
From Modest Beginnings to a Major Sporting Event
Since its inception in 2017 with just 1,100 participants, the "International 10K" has witnessed remarkable growth. Initially part of the Casablanca Marathon, it has evolved into an independent event that now draws a diverse crowd, ranging from enthusiastic amateurs to seasoned athletes. The event's certified course and adherence to international standards have further elevated its status, attracting elite competitors. Approximately 200 elite runners are anticipated to join the race, promising an exciting and competitive atmosphere in the heart of Casablanca as they aim for top performances.
