The story

5th Jordan Eco Trail Run in Wasfi AlTal Forest Reserve/Amman

The Jordan Eco Trail Run is an annual race held in Amman's Wasfi Al Tal Forest, with documented third and fourth editions establishing it as a genuinely recurring fixture ahead of this fifth running. Distance categories include a 20-kilometer race for athletes 16 and over, a 10-kilometer race for those 13 and older, and a 5-kilometer walk for nature lovers, all framed around raising environmental awareness alongside athletic competition.

The Jordan Eco Trail Run has built a consistent annual presence in Wasfi Al Tal Forest, a quiet, relatively isolated wooded area in the far northeast of Amman known for its wide dirt roads winding through a national park setting well off the beaten track compared to the capital's more central attractions.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this race is its explicit environmental self-awareness: rather than simply staging a trail run through scenic forest, organizers frame the event around participants directly confronting their own environmental impact, pairing athletic competition with conservation messaging in a way most Jordanian races do not attempt

02

The mystery stays covered

Wasfi Al Tal Forest's dense tree canopy also gives runners a genuinely different, cooler and shadier environment than the desert and archaeological settings hosting most of Jordan's other major races, making this a distinctive entry on the country's running calendar specifically for its forested northeastern Amman location
