The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon

It was my first marathon. I ran 10 k in 1 h and 4 min and 40 sec. Overall ranking was 479. It was a very nice experience. The event was ver organized and the preparation for the event was great. The control was good. And of course the location is the best.

It was incredibly organized and the location was incredible

Bucket list race! Well organized and good vibes amongst the runners.

It was a wonderful run, the weather couldn't be better. I was prepared for the hills but it was harder than I thought, lost some time walking 🚶‍♂️ ( I am over 60 ). Thanks a million for the organisers.

Great effort with the organisation and security. The organisers learned a lot from last year, well done for doing it large and well. Pack pickup efficient. Lovely route with views to the Pyramids. Be warned, it is hilly - one long one and one very steep one. About 1/3 to 1/2 truly flat. Good atmosphere. No spectators on route for security reasons and not great for supporters. Finish area fine, with a coffee stall. It is set up for max participation so don't expect to get your PB because all participants start at the same time, whatever their code or speed. So the first few mins will be spent getting past walkers - unless you are up at the start line a good half hour before or are good at nipping past people. However, just enjoy a nice run out and take some pictures (plenty of people to help with that).

It was the first time to run in marathon and I loved it very much
