Dead Sea · Sports & events

Run Jordan's April race — 10 April in 2026 — with a 50km individual, a 50km relay, a 21km and a 10km, all finishing down at the shore. Entries go through the organiser's own registration site.

A 242km relay from the Mujib Bridge on the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba, run by teams of five or ten with one runner on the road at all times and a 24-hour cut-off. Organised by a non-profit tied to the Amman Road Runners.

The nearest clubs are an hour up in Amman: Al-Faisaly at Amman International Stadium and Al-Wehdat at King Abdullah Stadium, two of the ten sides in the Jordanian Pro League. The shore has nothing of its own.

The Corniche includes proper cycling tracks. The Dead Sea Highway beyond it is a different proposition: long, exposed, below sea level and with almost no shoulder in places, so ride it early or not at all.

The 675km national trail drops through the Dead Sea wadis on its way from Iraq al-Amir south to Karak. The association's own planning notes are blunt about water and about hiring a local guide on the remote sections.
