Runners of all backgrounds are welcome to take part in the marathon or the race courses running alongside the main event. Although the exact perimeters of the 2025 race haven’t been announced, last year the 42-kilometre event for people over the age of 20, other distances included a 21-kilometre half-marathon for those over the age of 18 and a 10-kilometre for those aged 17 and above. There will also be a four-kilometre fun run for beginners too.
Tickets for the marathon are already on sale and cost SAR62 for the four-kilometre race, SAR85 for the 10-kilometre race, SAR119 for the 21-kilometre race, and for the main event, the 42-kilometre race will cost SAR149.
If you have a running buddy, you can register as a duo and pay SAR59 for the four-kilometre race, SAR79 for 10-kilometre, and SAR109 for 21-kilometre. The timings for the marathon are yet to be announced, but stay tuned to What’s On Saudi Arabia.
Last year, there was also an exciting “Marathon Village,” where families enjoyed various fun activities, and an area dedicated to restaurants. There were also refreshment areas every 2.5 kilometres across all races, in addition to the finish line, for runners who needed a pick-me-up through the marathon. Registrations surpassed 20,000 people, so we can only imagine what the numbers will look like this time around.
