The Eilat Desert Marathon is the only race in Israel combining desert and sea views, starting in the desert and ending at the Red Sea beach. It features challenging terrain, fascinating routes, and wild scenery of sea, mountains, and wadi canyons.

Why attend here

Late November in Eilat brings warm, dry desert days—perfect for a marathon that winds past the Red Sea, through Mars-like wadis, and up to panoramic mountain views. After the race, cool off in the salt pools, wander the promenade, and savor fresh grilled fish at a beachside restaurant.
