“I traveled 7,500 km in 106 days”, the Moroccan ultramarathoner Karim Mosta, who is visiting Baku, told reporters, according to Report.
The world champion expressed his satisfaction at being in Azerbaijan: "I express my gratitude to everyone. It is a great honor for me to have Mr. Ambassador here. It was very good to cycle with children. I wanted to visit other countries and meet different people. I traveled 7,500 km from Casablanca to Baku in 106 days. I was well received in every country I visited. Since I crossed the border, I have met only kind people in Azerbaijan. Police officers show the way, even explain something, offer tea. I also visited a bicycle factory in Ismayilli.”
Mosta also announced his next route: "I wanted to see the Caspian Sea. Then I will go to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China. Then, I will finish the marathon. In total, I plan to travel 15,000 km from Casablanca to Beijing. So far, I have been to 145 countries, and I have achieved my dream of coming to Azerbaijan. My journey is not over. I will go to China. My goal is to retrace the paths traveled by the Moroccan Ibn Battuta nine centuries ago. He crossed Azerbaijan with camels and on foot. And I do it by bicycle. I will leave Azerbaijan with great memories."
