The race runs across the sea over gravel dikes amidst turquoise-colored water with unique salt formations, at the lowest place in the world. The route crosses exclusive border embankments between Israel and Jordan, opened to runners only once a year.

Why attend here

In early April, the Dead Sea's desert air is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for post-race floating in the famously buoyant, mineral-rich waters. Between runs, explore the ancient ruins of Jerash or hike the canyons of Wadi Mujib, then refuel with a traditional Jordanian mezze of hummus, falafel, and fresh mint tea in nearby Amman.
