Rely on cash-paid taxis (or a ride-hailing app like Careem) and negotiate/confirm the fare before you get in — Sharm El Sheikh has no formal public transit card system, and hop-on minibuses are informal and not tourist-friendly.

com to arrange it.
General Sharm El Sheikh tourism operators run hotel-pickup coach transfers to Ras Mohamed (commonly ~9am),
but this is a tourist-excursion service, not documented as the marathon's official shuttle —
do not assume it covers pre-dawn race-start timing.
Foreign runners should treat hotel/organizer-arranged transfer as mandatory and confirm before travel.
More details
Public transport is essentially just local minibuses that run along main roads with no fixed stops (hail by hand) —
not really practical or reliable for tourists.
Most visitors use taxis (negotiate first;
short Naama Bay/Hadaba trips run roughly 50-80 EGP) or the ride-hailing app Careem.
Many hotels also run free shuttle buses to spots like Soho Square, Old Market, and Naama Bay.
Expect cash-only transactions for taxis/minibuses.
