As every year and on the first Sunday of October, the Megara Association for Youth, chaired by Riadh Ben Zazia, and with the support of the Municipality of Carthage and the Agency for Heritage Development and Cultural Promotion , organizes the vibrant “Run in Carthage” in its sixth edition.
The many “timers” or simple recreational runners, anonymous or even high-level runners will be at the start of “this event race” to embark on an atypical course of 18 km slightly modified for this 6th unprecedented edition. , to become partly and for the first time in Tunisia on an official race, an “urban trail”, in the heart of the northern suburbs of Tunis, nestled between the heights of Sidi Boussaid and the plain of Carthage.
Major event of the calendar of running in Tunisia, Run In Carthage is displayed for this sixth edition with great glories and emerges from the lot by:
- The attendance record presaged thanks to the large local and foreign participation recorded during previous editions.
- A route that qualifies as “mythical” thanks to the Olympian landscapes that it reveals on the remains of the City of Dido and those – even more steeped in history – which overlook the azure coast of the suburbs of Mégara. New this year, this 18km course laid out in such a way as to constitute in part (and for the first time in Tunisia on an official race) an “Urban Trail”
- A festive and convivial atmosphere is an infallible witness that this sporting adventure dedicated to everyone is above all human. L
It must be said that running, and sport in general, cannot do without this kind of event which makes history, diversity and, of course, quality. Everything that has been achieved, and everything that is still being achieved, reflects the margin of progress and the evolution of an event which, from one edition to another, takes on a greater dimension each time. An objective, means, men to aim higher, further and stronger. It is a real momentum and a qualitative leap through which the Run In Carthage passes today.
The organizers are often led to express or think of innovative things, related to this sport and which make it the raison d’être. If they give the impression of being able to reach a higher level, it is because they want to make this meeting an important lever for running. They are more and more obsessed with the smallest detail, thirsty for progression and for and… confirmation.
Preparations for this sixth edition have started, are in full swing and are going well, while registrations are already open on the website.www.runincarthage.com ».
