The story

Alexandria Half Marathon in Alexandria

Run alongside Alexandria's full marathon on the same April weekend and the same Corniche course, this half marathon draws a broad field from first-timers to club pacers. The shared organization with the full distance gives it a well-resourced, festival-like race-day atmosphere rarely seen on a standalone half-marathon weekend.

Alexandria Half Marathon shares its April date, its Corniche-hugging course, and its finish line with the city's full marathon, giving runners of different ambition levels, from weekend joggers to seasoned club racers, a reason to travel and race together on the same Mediterranean waterfront and finish under the same banner.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Sharing its course, date, and finish line with a full marathon gives this half distance access to a more developed race operation, aid stations and closures, than most standalone half marathons manage, while the Mediterranean Corniche route itself passes some of Alexandria's most recognizable waterfront scenery, including sightlines to the Qaitbay citadel and the working harbor beyond it, all on one continuous seafront road that few other Egyptian half marathons can match for scenery
