About
The Dead Sea Ultra Marathon in Jordan is a legendary endurance challenge that, over two decades, has become one of the most unique running experiences in the Middle East. On 9 April 2027, the 50 km ultra, the 50 km relay and the half marathon start at 6:00, followed by the 10 km at 9:00.
Since 2016, the gruelling 50 km ultra has run around the Dead Sea, starting near the sacred Baptism Site and finishing at the water's edge, testing runners with extreme heat and the lowest elevation on Earth (423 m below sea level). For those seeking a shorter challenge, the 10 km offers a more accessible way to discover this extraordinary landscape. The event combines extreme athletics with Jordan's breathtaking natural wonders.
