About

The Pétra Wadi Rum Trail Challenge is a multi-stage trail and hiking event in Jordan, based around Mādabā, from 18 to 24 October 2026, through landscapes shaped by the history and culture of the region.

The trail version has six stages of 6 km, 19 km, 22 km, 15 km, 27 km and 24 km, the last through the Wadi Rum canyons. The hiking version also has six stages, of 6 km, 12 km, 18 km, 15 km (with 500 m of elevation gain), 15 km and 14 km, taking in the Chubak canyons, the heart of Petra and the Wadi Rum canyons.

Several iconic sites lie nearby: Mount Nebo, a biblical site with panoramic views; Mādabā and its mosaic map of Jerusalem in St George's Church; the Dead Sea, for a float in its salty waters; and the Ma'in hot springs, for relaxing after the effort.
