About El Gouna Half Marathon

The Red Sea's Premier Running Event

El Gouna Half Marathon is the Red Sea's premier running event, bringing together runners from around the world in one of Egypt's most spectacular coastal destinations.
 

Since its launch in 2019, the event has welcomed thousands of participants and has become a fixture on the regional running calendar, attracting athletes and recreational runners from over 45 nationalities. Participants can choose from four race distances: the 21.1K Half Marathon, 10K Race, 5K Race, and 1K Kids Race for children aged 5–10.
 

All races start and finish at Abu Tig Marina, the vibrant heart of El Gouna, guiding runners through the town's scenic streets, marinas, lagoons, golf courses, and iconic landmarks. Combining world-class race organisation with breathtaking views of the Red Sea, El Gouna Half Marathon offers an unforgettable running experience unlike any other in the region.
 

The event is organised by The TriFactory in partnership with El Gouna and Orascom Development and is held under the auspices of the Egyptian Ministry of Youth and Sports, with technical supervision from the Egyptian Athletics Federation. Every race distance is delivered according to international standards, ensuring a safe, professionally managed, and rewarding experience for all participants.
