If you need something of a challenge, then how about the Ein Gedi Experience Half Marathon at the lowest point on earth – together with the Masada Run – on 6 February, 2016!?
The Ein Gedi race attracts international and local athletes, drawn by the unique combination of breathtaking views, sporting atmosphere and the altitude – the lowest place on earth.
In addition to the Half Marathon, there will also be a 10 km walk and run and a 2km race for children. The Masada Race, a 2.5 km rocky path that climbs the 300m ascent up to the top of Masada ending with 750 steep stone steps, will also take place during the weekend. The Masada Run is Israel’s answer to challenging races such as the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State building run-up and the Mount Fuji Mountain Race- but here the destination is a 2,000 year old desert fortress.
