Sport | The Dead Sea Marathon 2025 The Dead Sea, Ein Bokek

The fifth edition of the Tamar Regional Council’s Dead Sea Marathon will be taking place this month in Ein Bokek. The highlight of the race is a run towards the center of sea on the border embankment of the Dead Sea Works that surrounds the southern part of the Dead Sea. Only once a year do the security forces permit use of the dikes for sporting purposes and this gives the runners the opportunity to discover breathtaking views that so far have only been observed by employees of the Dead Sea factories or security personnel. The race begins on Friday at 06:15am at Ein Bokek Beach, and 8,000 runners are expected to participate (including IDF soldiers and reservists). Six different courses are available, from the 5km race to the 50km ultramarathon. Accommodation packages at attractive prices are available for

runners and their families. February 7, deadsea.run/en/
