Israel's Dead Sea Marathon

Very well organised and beautiful track. The atmosphere was great and it certainly is an experience to run on salty ground.

This was my 245th marathon & certainly a bucket list event to do. The logistics of flying from the UK to Tel Aviv & then getting to the Dead Sea sorted, the race is on a Friday am. 350 approx ran the marathon & a similar number for the 50k. Both start together at 6:15am. Most run the half marathon, 2500 & start later. There is also a 10k & 5k. All in about 7000 runners. Fortunately the weather was overcast & mild, till the last 5k when it was sunny & warm. This event is unique running almost entirely on the Dead Sea paths criss crossing it on hard packed gravel/grit. Very flat, with plenty of water stations & food, with enough toilets as well. Certainly a bucket list marathon to tick off & afterwards you get to float in the sea & knowing that you have raced on the lowest place on earth!

Unique race

It was a very exciting marathon!

An unique experience.

Posto fantastico! Buona organizzazione

Super cool run.

100% recommended! awesome landscape, very well organized!

It is specific place to run. Not to easy, but route recommends everything. One of best Ultra i've been taking part.

Great event. Bus from Tel Aviv works well although it's a VERY early start! Bib pick-up is straightforward at the Dead Sea. Route is fantastic and so scenic. Did the half which is pretty flat with one slight incline around the 16k mark. Not too many food options around after the race as most the places are not open until later in the morning. Best bet may be going into one of the hotels for breakfast.

Good route, one slight incline. Lots of aid stations with a variety of different items which was really good.

Amazing location, I think you'd struggle to find a cooler place to run! Not crowded, fantastic photos and drone photos included, plentiful aid stations. But the main plus is definitely the awe inspiring location!

Nice and flat (one tiny hill!)

Route was great with plenty of water and food stations

Perfect route for a first ultra because of the lack of hills

Amazing view! But hard race! You should drink a lot before race and bring glasses

Beautiful, unique run. Well organized. Will certainly do it again!
