About the Event

Immerse yourself in the timeless grandeur of ancient Egypt at the Marakez Pyramid Half Marathon on December 11, 2026. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers runners an unparalleled opportunity to race alongside the iconic Pyramids of Giza, a marvel that has stood for over 4,500 years. The event is certified by AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Distance Races), ensuring top-tier quality.
The half marathon course weaves through this historic landscape, starting with mild inclines before descending near the enigmatic Sphinx at the finish line. Temperatures in mid-December are pleasantly cool, rarely dropping below 10 degrees Celsius, making it ideal for endurance running. The race also features a 5 km and a 10 km option to cater to all levels of runners.
Beyond the physical challenge lies an immersive cultural experience. Explore the interiors of these ancient structures, visit the Sphinx Museum to deepen your understanding of Egypt's rich history, or venture into Nazlet el-Samman village for a glimpse into local traditions. Organized by TriFactory, this event is more than just a race; it’s a journey through time and culture.
Don’t miss out on making memories that will last a lifetime amidst the awe-inspiring Pyramids of Giza.
