The Ein Gedi Experience – Half Marathon and the Masada Run take place at the lowest point on earth and happen over the same weekend – 7-8 February, 2014!
The International Ein Gedi race attracts international and local athletes, and there will also be a 10 km walk and run and a 2km race for children.
The Masada Race is a 2.5 km rocky path that climbs the 300m ascent up to the top of Masada ending with 750 steep stone steps. 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.
