Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon

Run through history at the Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon, Egypt’s most iconic road running event, set in the legendary landscape of Giza.

This world-class race offers runners the rare opportunity to compete in the shadow of the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World — the Great Pyramid of Khufu — making it one of the most unforgettable running experiences on the planet.

Organized by TriFactory and officially certified by AIMS (10K and half marathon), the event features 5K, 10K, and 21K distances, welcoming runners of all levels, from beginners to elite athletes.

The course takes participants across the vast and historic Giza Plateau, passing extraordinary landmarks such as the Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure. The terrain is varied yet accessible, with gentle inclines that add challenge while keeping the race enjoyable and fast.

Beyond the competition, this is a journey through time. Every kilometer brings runners closer to ancient civilization, combining sport, culture, and awe-inspiring scenery in a way few races in the world can match.

The Marakez Pyramids Half Marathon has become a true bucket-list event for international runners — a race where performance meets history, and every finisher becomes part of a story thousands of years in the making.
