We asked when registering when the start time was and were told 9am. Once back at the vans, we checked the website which said 10am. So we hedged our bets and arrived just after 8.30am, which gave us chance to warm up with a local keep fit class in the park.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25601\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_085100141-1024x517-1024x517.jpg\" alt=\"Fes Semi Marathon 2017\" width=\"620\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_085100141-1024x517.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_085100141-1024x517-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_085100141-1024x517-768x388.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then it was the obligatory pre-race toilet stop. No portable loos here though, just a concrete block with two loos in it, neither of which flushed. There was a lovely old lady there with an amazing smile, whose job it was to go in after you and tip a bucket down the loo to flush it. It seemed most of the bucket went on the seat and floor as you had to paddle your way in, and there was no loo roll, of course (a small hose pipe is provided here in the more basic places with which you clean yourself), but we were more than happy to give her a Dirham for the service.<\/p>\n<p>After wandering around taking in the sights, the start ended up being quite a rushed affair. We hadn&#8217;t noticed that everyone else had lined up to go, only a shout and a frantic wave told us to shift. We pushed our way past the motorbikes that were to ride out ahead of us, then through the elite athletes, positioning ourselves a safe distance from the front runners.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25596\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25596\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25596\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095040549-1024x576-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Fes Semi Marathon 2017\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095040549-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095040549-1024x576-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095040549-1024x576-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25596\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Excited at the start<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_25599\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25599\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25599\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_094958410-1024x544-1024x544.jpg\" alt=\"Fes Semi Marathon 2017\" width=\"620\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_094958410-1024x544.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_094958410-1024x544-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_094958410-1024x544-768x408.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ooops, I think we may have just pushed to the front<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_25595\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25595\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25595\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095101347-1024x576-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Fes Semi Marathon 2017\" width=\"620\" height=\"349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095101347-1024x576-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095101347-1024x576-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_095101347-1024x576-2-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25595\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Less than a minute later and we were off<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The crowd behind us stretched out as far as we could see.

I think Jules may have been one of only two blond people in the race, so we got quite a bit of attention and encouragement. Every little side street had a marshal, with a large baton, making sure no traffic entered the route, while every roundabout had police stopping the traffic. The sound of car horns was deafening in places, many of which were wanting us to get a shift on so they could carry on their journey. Phil spoke to some other British on the campsite and they were held up for an hour and a half in the city as they tried to reach here &#8211; we can only apologise and say, we went as fast as we could.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25590\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25590\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25590\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_091636169_HDR-1024x541-1024x541.jpg\" alt=\"Morocco Police Jacket\" width=\"620\" height=\"328\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_091636169_HDR-1024x541.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_091636169_HDR-1024x541-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_091636169_HDR-1024x541-768x406.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25590\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Loads of these guys kept us safe on the roads today &#8211; a massive thank you to all the marshals and police.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_25597\" style=\"width: 630px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25597\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25597\" src=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_101311659-1024x520-1024x520.jpg\" alt=\"Fes Semi Marathon 2017\" width=\"620\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_101311659-1024x520.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_101311659-1024x520-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ourtourmedia.s3.eu-central-003.backblazeb2.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_20170108_101311659-1024x520-768x390.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25597\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The view ahead &#8211; long straight roads in Fes new town are not great as you can see how far there is to go!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Refreshment stations offered water, oranges or sultanas, which was great but with a water bottle in one hand I really struggled to peel my orange! Finally as we reached our last kilometre, cars and motorbikes started to pass us, then a timing car showing we had been running for an hour. This heralded the leaders in the half marathon. I have no idea what time the overall winner came in at, but I am so proud of Jules and I crossing the line in an unofficial 1 hour 7 minutes (we were aiming for 1 hour 20) &#8211; most importantly we didn&#8217;t stop, not even to take these pics (which is why they may be a tad blurred).

A last minute decision to switch to shorts instead of leggings turned out not to be the best. Reunited at the finish we sat and ate our weight in fruit, drank as much water as we dare so as to avoid another trip to the loo.\u00a0The race was just amazing. A great atmosphere, loads of cheering and a real sense of achievement at the end.
