City center · not the start line

We have not confirmed the start line coordinates yet. The map shows the host city.

The official Bahrain Road Runners account lists GFH Full Marathon 2026 as a separate event,

and the event photo platform records AlAreen Wildlife Park & Reserve in Zallaq as the event location on February 6, 2026.

A results aggregator lists 129 finishers in the full marathon.

The certified distance, registration details, Entry fee,

and race-day operations could not be verified in publicly available official sources, so these details have not been estimated.
