Marrakech Half Marathon

The Marrakech Marathon is considered among the world most prestigious marathons. Runners follow a flat course through the city. The route is a single lap that takes participants along the side of the city’s 12th-century ramparts, through the Menara gardens and on dusty roads lined with palm trees

Try for a new PB, set yourself a fundraising target for Salam charity or simply tackle the course for fun and fitness. Renowned for its enthusiastic crowds and fantastic atmosphere, whatever your race-day goal you can look forward to a truly memorable day.

The cause

Displaced due to ongoing conflict and devastation, IDPs (Internally Displaced People) are living in temporary accommodation which is overcrowded, unhygienic, and unsafe. They don’t know whether they’ll be evicted from one month to the next.

Why? Hundreds of thousands of homes have been destroyed – and families just can’t afford the cost to make them safe again. The typical price of £2,500 includes rebuilding, doors, rewiring, painting, and water connection.

Your money will support the rebuilding programme and allow people to go back home again.

Salam Charity has joined the local council in Idlib. Working with Syrian partners, they identify vulnerable families and have already enabled hundreds of people to go back home. Your funds will support this work and give people their lives back. Let’s do this!
