Join Dead Sea Marathon Israel
Running on the water at the lowest point on earth
List of the heats:
5KM – Convenient route for those who are new to the running experience
10KM – running along the new Dead Sea Promenade.
Half Marathon – a fast and flat route out on the dike of the Dead Sea, in memory of Tomer and Giora Ron.
Dead Sea Marathon – fast race around the shores of the southern Dead Sea up to 21 km on the dike.
50km Ultra Marathon – 50km Israel Championship in co-operation with the Athletics Association.
The highlight of the race is a run towards the sea on the border embankment of the Dead Sea Works that surrounds the southern part of the Dead Sea. Only once a year due the security forces permit use of the dikes for sporting purposes and this gives the runners the opportunity to discover breathtaking views that have so far been observed by employees of the Dead Sea factories or security personnel.
The dike serves as the border area between the Israeli Dead Sea and the Jordanian Dead Sea and serves as a barrier without a fence between the two countries that maintain a common and peaceful daily routine. The route mostly takes place on a dense and flat graveled area and will be secured by the security forces and the army.
The race takes place with the assistance and support of the Israel Chemicals Company, the Dead Sea Drainage Authority and the Government of the Dead Sea Protection Company.
