Course details

Course highlights

ROUTE: The race course is fully pedestrianised and is staffed by The TriFactory event organisers and volunteers. The 5K course is fairly flat, while the 10K and 21K courses feature several rolling hills and inclines, including the long decline down to the Sphinx and resulting incline on the way back up towards the Finish Line. 100% authentic. 100% amazing. The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon takes you up close and personal to the last remaining Ancient Wonder of the World. Each distance features a one-lap race course that is timed using the MyLaps Timing System, the same system deployed at major sports events across the world, including the Olympic Games and the Boston 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 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).
