On the night of June 8th, the city of Fez will be buzzing - the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music started the night before and then music and sport get together with a night race through the city of with more than one thousand runners taking part - and you can be one of them!
The View from Fez is not sure who came up with the idea of a 6K Medina run, but it is a superb idea. The organisers say that their motto is to combine sport and music.
The race of 6.6 kilometres will take place during the 19th edition of Fes Festival of World Sacred Music.
The organisers are not talking of simply a few energetic people trotting around the Medina of Fez, but are claiming that they will bring together some 1,200 participants accompanied by a caravan of old and new Moroccan athletes like Hicham el Guerrouj, Nezha Bidouane, Khalid Skah, Rachid Lebsir, Brahim Lahlafi and Abderrahim Bourahmdane.
