The Red Sea half marathon Marathon is a road race run in Aqaba, Jordan.
The Jordan Marathon Association and the Ayla Oasis Development Company are holding an event together,
using the tourist city on the Red Sea coast as a running stage.
The main event, half marathon, and the shorter distance, Kids Run, are organized in one event,
so adult participants and their families can participate in their own way.
Although the name refers to the Red Sea, it is a separate event from the separate long-distance relay race that runs from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea.
The background introduced by the official partner is the scenery and sports space of Isla Oasis.
This is an area with paths and sports facilities for running and cycling,
and the half marathon Marathon is one of the annual events that takes advantage of that environment.
The intersection of coastal city recreation and road running creates the character of the event.
If you know the relationship between Aqaba and Ayla rather than which historical buildings you pass through and how many times,
it will be easier to understand why the competition is held in this location.
The purpose of the event is to increase local sports participation and spread a healthy lifestyle culture.
Run for a Cause, launched by Run Jordan, is linked to activities that support charities,
and Ayla also includes local community participation and support for Jordan runners in the event's purpose.
It is a competition where local participants and visiting runners meet in one course.
It can be read as Aqaba's running tradition that ties together not only distance running competition but also local sport and social contribution.
