The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon
Join The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon 2025
For the seventh year in a row, The TriFactory is proud to present the Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon, our flagship running race which invites runners from around the world to #RaceThroughHistory at the most iconic of locations: the Great Pyramids of Giza. Egypt’s signature running event features the 5K, 10K, & 21K. Both the 10K and 21K are certified by AIMS. The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon welcomes runners of all ages and abilities to run through 5000 years of history
Course details
The race course is fully pedestrianised and is staffed by The TriFactory event organisers and volunteers. The 5K course is fairly flat, while the 10K and 21K courses feature several rolling hills and inclines, including the long decline down to the Sphinx and resulting incline on the way back up towards the Finish Line.
100% authentic. 100% amazing. The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon takes you up close and personal to the last remaining Ancient Wonder of the World. Each distance features a one-lap race course that is timed using the MyLaps Timing System, the same system deployed at major sports events across the world, including the Olympic Games and the Boston Marathon.
Start address: Pyramids visitor center مركز زوار الأهرامات, الاهرام، Al Haram, Egypt
