The 5^th International Half Marathon of Rabat was a real success in terms of achieved results. The 5,000 participants (men and women) benefited from a wonderful day and course of their choice, with a good organisation which is getting better each year.

Right after departure, the Moroccans Beday and Mobsit were at one side in front and at the other side there were Chebet from Kenya and Tujuba Megersa from Ethiopia and it was only along the last 3,000m that Chebet managed to project ahead and imposed himself in 60 min 41, a performance rather normal for Chebet who achieved more than once performances under 60mn.  Beday Ahmed from Morocco will profit by this competition to achieve a performance of 61mn 03.

As for women, Asmae Laghzaoui from Morocco with 2 min before the ladies behind her had no difficulty in imposing herself.

RABAT

Imagine a white city rising up majestically at the estuary of a river, a city whose history goes back to the earliest times, whose beauties have been enhanced over the centuries, a city chosen to be the capital of the Almohad Empire in the 12th century, then of present-day Morocco: that city is Rabat, the Royal city.

Rabat boasts the biggest university of the country and the city abounds in shops, bookshops, cinemas and theatres.

Rabat is a kaleidoscope of colourful patios and exuberant gardens: the delightful Garden of Oudayas and the romantic gardens of the Chellah Necropolis. Set like a jewel amid magnificent surroundings, Rabat is endowed with long beaches with golden sand, the noble Mamora cork oak forest and the Royal Golf Dar-Es-Salam, one of the most beautiful courses in the world.

Rabat, the Royal city, gives its visitors a royal welcome
