Saqqara Half Marathon 2027

About the event

Step into history at the fifth edition of the Saqqara Pyramid Race, transforming into the exhilarating Saqqara Half Marathon on February 5th, 2027. This year's race offers three distances: a challenging half marathon (21K), a scenic 10K run, and a family-friendly 5K fun run. Participants will traverse through the ancient necropolis of Saqqara, immersing themselves in its timeless beauty and rich heritage.
The route for the longer races winds past the iconic Step Pyramid before extending to the nearby Abusir Pyramids via newly opened surface roads that provide unprecedented access to these historical sites. Runners can expect a blend of flat terrain and slight inclines as they navigate through this awe-inspiring landscape, with breathtaking views at every turn.
The race starts and finishes directly beneath the shadow of the Step Pyramid, creating an unforgettable backdrop for both runners and spectators alike. After crossing the finish line, participants will be treated to an awards ceremony that celebrates their achievement in a setting steeped in ancient Egyptian history.
Join thousands of runners from over 60 countries as they lace up for this unique adventure through time on February 5th, 2027. Sign up now at PremierOnline.com and experience the magic of Saqqara firsthand.

The Greater Cairo metropolitan area is one of the largest in the world by population with over 22 million people.
