AGAINST the stunning backdrop of the Dead Sea—the lowest point on earth—the internationally acclaimed Dead Sea Marathon has established itself as a unique event for runners from Israel and around the world.
Renowned for its unique location, awe-inspiring landscapes and exceptional race experience, the marathon attracts participants who are seeking an unforgettable running adventure. The Dead Sea Marathon—which will stage its fifth edition on February 7—offers a course for everyone: beginners, seasoned marathoners and long-distance runners. The main highlight of the race is running across the sea over the famous gravel dikes amidst the turquoise-colored water with its unique salt formations on either side. The remarkable gravel dikes, stretching 6 to 8 meters wide, create an exhilarating and incomparable experience for runners of all courses—this is the only time in the year when the dikes are open to the public. The event features a 5-km Fun Run, 10-km race, Half Marathon , Full Marathon and the ultimate test of endurance—the 50km Course which is Israel’s championship for ultra marathon. One of the distinctive features of the Dead Sea Marathon is its flat and fast courses, providing participants with an excellent opportunity to achieve their personal best. With its diverse range of amenities, including hotels, a bustling shopping center, a beautiful beach and a new promenade, the Ein Bokek region complements the Dead Sea Marathon as an all-encompassing destination. Runners and spectators will find everything they need for a well-rounded experience that combines adventure, relaxation and the best of what the Dead Sea region has to offer. The beating heart of the event is located on the shores of the Dead Sea, on the new promenade of the hotel complex , from where the runners will cross the start line and where they will return to the glorious finish and a fun-for-all event. The prize giving complex will include an expo—a professional fair with the best sports and lifestyle companies, the running kit distribution area, a recovery area for runners and activities for the whole family. The therapeutic properties of the Dead Sea itself are a significant highlight of the marathon. The Dead Sea’s salt concentration and mineral-rich waters have numerous health benefits. Runners can enjoy a post-race recovery by floating in the buoyant waters or indulging in a revitalizing mud bath, which is renowned for its ability to promote skin health and soothe muscle soreness. The Dead Sea Marathon has developed from the foundations of the old Ein Gedi Race, which for over 30 years hosted tens of thousands of runners. The Ein Gedi race was an anchor point in the annual race schedule of amateurs and professionals from all over the country who were addicted to the magical and quiet landscape. As a continuation of the commemoration to that race, at the end of the half marathon, an event will be held in memory of Tomer and Giora Ron, young members of Kibbutz Ein Gedi. “The Dead Sea Marathon is a one-of-a-kind event that combines the thrill of running with the incredible beauty and therapeutic benefits of the Dead Sea region,” organizers said. “We are excited to invite Filipino runners to experience this extraordinary race.” They added: “It’s an unforgettable journey that merges sports with wellness, and we look forward to seeing more Filipino participants join us in this global event.”By checking this box, you confirm that you have read and are agreeing to our terms of use regarding the storage of the data submitted through this form.
