RACE DAY INFORMATION
Race Course
El Gouna Half Marathon 2024 will feature an updated race course, taking runners through the wonderful and scenic roads of El Gouna. The course is almost entirely flat, with minimal elevations as a result of a few bridges that participants will cross as they take on the course. The 21K, 10K, and 5K routes all follow similar paths. All four Race Maps can be seen below.​
Running Conduct
-
Runners must complete the entire prescribed distance for their race within the three-hour Cut-Off Time.
-
Runners are permitted to wear earphones while running.
-
Runners are requested to run on the right-hand side, as many of the roads and paths will be operated both ways, with runners going and coming on the same path.
First Aid/Ambulance
Ambulances will be stationed at the Start Line Zone & Finish Line Zone and at 3 major points throughout the course, ready to assist runners in need at any time. There will also be medical personnel available at major crossing points to help with any medical problems that may occur. Mobile event organisers on the course will be monitoring the progress of all runners and will be ready to respond with First Aid if needed. Medical care is provided by Alfa Medical Group and El Safa Hospitals.
Nutrition
Nutrition will be provided to all runners on the course and at the Finish Line, but it is recommended that all runners plan their nutrition strategy in advance and make sure they have everything that they need ready for race day. Available nutrition will include:
-
Nestle Water (in small 330ml plastic bottles)
-
Bananas
-
Powerade Sports Drink
​Nutrition Stations will be spread out regularly across the course, approximately every 2.5K.

​
All participating runners will receive Endurance League points. To find out more about The TriFactory's Endurance League, please visit www.thetrifactory.com.
