Albatros Adventure Marathons was established with the success of our very first running event in 1999, The Great Wall Marathon. Today, we organize 9 annual races, each characterized by locations of exceptional natural beauty and historic significance. From the barren desert landscape of Jordan to the African savannah, from the epic Great Wall of China to the temples of Bagan and even up to the Arctic Circle, these courses will challenge even the most experienced runner. Our concept offers race entry along with a tour package, creating the perfect opportunity to share the journey with family and friends. We also aim to provide you with a lifetime experience while creating responsible tourism, raising awareness for these remarkable areas and giving back to the local communities. Push your limits at the next Albatros Adventure Marathon!

It goes without saying that Petra is impressive.

But there’s something special about experiencing it at running pace.

The challenge, the landscapes, the ancient city, and everything that happens around the race. Petra Desert Marathon is a journey where the destination is just as much a part of the experience as the finish line.

And sometimes, the runners say it best.
