About the Event

The 33rd Egyptian Marathon is set to take place in the historic city of Luxor, offering runners a chance to experience an extraordinary blend of sport and ancient heritage. This iconic marathon, the oldest ongoing marathon in Africa and the Middle East, starts beneath the majestic Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, adding a truly historic backdrop to your race. Participants can choose from multiple distances to suit all levels: the full marathon (42.195 km), the Luxor Run half marathon (21.098 km), the Ramses Run (12 km), or the Hatshepsut Run (5 km) for a shorter but equally scenic experience. Over the past 29 years, the Egyptian Marathon has built a reputation for combining professional race organization with the breathtaking sights of Luxor, making it a bucket-list event for runners seeking a unique cultural and athletic adventure. All race inquiries and registration details can be found via the official contact: info@egyptianmarathon.net . This is a race where history and endurance meet in one unforgettable experience.
