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.
