About the Event

The Arad Masada Race is more than a run; it's a 20-hour desert adventure beginning at sunset in Kfar Hanokdim. This unique event creates a temporary "running village" where participants enjoy a desert dinner, lectures, and live music before an early morning start. Runners choose from three heats: a competitive 17km single-track, an 11km race, or a 5km walk, all finishing beneath the historic Masada fortress. The journey culminates in a celebratory desert rave as the sun rises, blending physical challenge with an unforgettable communal atmosphere. It's a powerful experience that connects you to nature, yourself, and the magic of the Israeli desert.
