Israel's Dead Sea Marathon
关于赛事
The Dead Sea Marathon is a race that should be on every runners bucket-list. Taking place in one of the most unique landscapes on the planet, this race has captured the imagination of runners across the world.
With an international field of runners and offering range of distances from 5k up to 50k, the race is the only occasion each year when security forces allow running on the dikes that meander through the salt lake that is bordered by Israel, the West Bank and Jordan.
A true once-in-a-lifetime experience, the Dead Sea Marathon has to be experienced to be believed.

The 21.1K half marathon starts on Ein Bokek road opposite the new Dead Sea Mall and heading north. Runners will run towards Ein Bokek junction where the course turns right (north) and continues on route 90 alongside the Dead Sea scenic shoreline and sparkling blue and turquoise water on the right. After approximately 5km, the course turns east onto the spacious dike, a flat compact dirt road. Note that this course approaches the Jordanian border, a demilitarization zone and a mine hazard area on the east, and do not deviate from the marked path. Continuing south for approximately 5km, alongside Ein Bokek hotel district on the right and the Jordanian border on the left, it is a wonderful opportunity to view the amazing salt crystal formations on the right. The course turns back north by the 10km mark and around the Dead Sea southern basin. The final 5 kilometers take runners back south along the new hotel promenade (note Nahal Ein Bokek crossing) on the way to the festive beachfront finish area, opposite the new Dead Sea Mall. Well Done!

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!
