Run like an Egyptian

The annual “Sharmarathon” is an annual half marathon taking place on 6th November 2009 in Egypt’s only national park, Ras Mohamed and you could be a part of the action when you book a holiday to nearby Sharm el Sheikh with Libra Holidays.

Ras Mohamed National Park is renowned for its raised fossil coral platforms which represent ancient shorelines and reefs as old as 2 million years! Coral reefs in the National Park present runners and spectators with a breathtaking experience. Runners will have the pleasure of running through desert and dunes, mangroves along the coast line and by passing salt lakes.

The 21km run tests the runners to the maximum as they race over varied surfaces and battle against the heat. Following the race, participants will enjoy a prize ceremony and local entertainment.
