About the Pyramids Half Marathon:

The Pyramids Half Marathon is organised by The TriFactory and takes place tentatively on Friday, November 1st 2024* at the Great Pyramids of Giza.

It includes three distances, 5K, 10K, & 21K, which makes it suitable for participants of all ages and abilities, including those who wish to walk instead of run. 

The Pyramids Half Marathon takes you up close and personal to the last remaining Ancient Wonder of the World. All three races will remain entirely within the Pyramids Complex, extending the amount of time runners can Race Through History alongside the Great Pyramids of Giza. The race course is fully pedestrianised and is staffed by The TriFactory event organisers and volunteers. The 5K course is fairly flat, while the 10K and 21K courses feature several rolling hills and inclines, including the long decline down to the Sphinx and resulting incline on the way back up towards the Finish Line.

Age Requirements for Race Participation:

5K: minimum 12 years, 10K: minimum 14 years, 21K: minimum 16 years
