Discover Tangier
Tangier hosts the Tanger Marathon 2026 in a setting between the medina, the corniche and the sea horizon. This page gives a simple introduction to the city to help you plan your stay around the race.
Plan your stay
A city of passage, a city of departure
Tangier looks out over the Strait and keeps a direct connection with the sea. For a marathon weekend, this gives the trip a clear feel: arrive in northern Morocco, run, then take time to look at the city.
The visit can stay simple: a walk along the corniche, a few alleys in the medina, a coffee before the start, then a trip to Cape Spartel or the Caves of Hercules after the race.
