Enhancing the lowest point on Earth marathon route
The routes of the 50km and the 21km races have been carefully redesigned in a significant update to this anniversary. The runners in the lowest point on earth marathon will now run through the scenic corniche coastline. Such change doesn’t only offer an impressive background but also improves the logistical flow. It is worth noting that the 50km race has been given an international Bronze classification this year, which has made it even more prestigious according to World Athletics guidelines.
Community Impact of the Bromine sponsored race
The Bromine sponsored race is more than a test of physical stamina; it is a humanitarian one. In a show of great regional unity, organizers have committed to giving 20 percent of all registration fee to assist people in Gaza, in liaison with the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organisation.
Integrating global standards in Run Jordan sporting events
The organizing committee in collaboration with the Jordan Athletics Federation makes sure that each event such as the 10km run and the special races that will be exclusively done by individuals with disabilities will be of high standards. Moreover, a special children’s race will be held on April 17 in Al Hussein Parks, so that a generation of children who love sports at a young age is formed. This milestone edition will be the most effective one due to its strong community orientation with solid institutional partnerships.
