South Sinai Governorate, EG
Event description
The entire route of the race winds in Ras Mohamed National Park (UNESCO Heritage) natural reserve of sea and land.
On one side, mutable sand dunes and the mountains of the Sinai desert, on the other side the channel of the mangroves, the Hidden Bay , the salt lake and the turquoise of the sea.
In Ras Mohammed National Park , one of the gems of the Red Sea, athletes will run with the company of herons, gulls, terns and osprey, as well as thousands of storks that stop here during migration from Europe to East Africa.
The sea and the desert share the space creating an infinite number of small bays, inlets, lagoons and the colour of the sea shows off all its various shades, from turquoise to cobalt blue.
