CAIRO, EGYPT, December 17, 2024 / EINPresswire.com / -- The Tri-Factory, Egypt’s leading sports event organizer, has organized the Pyramids Half Marathon sponsored by Markaz for the sixth year in a row. Over the past few years, the marathon has established itself as one of the most prominent sprint races in Egypt. This event is very special, as it takes thousands of runners on a majestic tour under the three pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure, and the six pyramids of their queens, as this area

represents one of the most famous historical destinations in Egypt, in addition to being the last remaining ancient wonder of the world. The
Pyramids Half Marathon sponsored by Markaz is a destination that welcomes runners from all over the world, and in addition, the marathon provides the opportunity for runners of all ages to participate in all three available distances, as the race allows participants to participate in a distance of 5 km, 10 km, or 21 km. The Pyramids Half Marathon, sponsored by Marakez, offers a unique and unforgettable experience for runners of all ages and abilities, combining fun and challenge, as reflected in the slogan of this edition of the marathon, #RaceThroughHistory.

The first edition of the Pyramids Half Marathon, sponsored by Marakez, was launched in 2019, in the presence of a number of prominent figures, including His Excellency Dr. Ashraf Sobhi, Minister of Youth and Sports, His Excellency Dr. Khaled El-Enany, former Minister of Antiquities, and Her Excellency Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, former Minister of Tourism. Since its launch, the event has succeeded in establishing itself as one of the most prominent sporting events on the local and international levels.

The Pyramids Half Marathon, sponsored by Marakez, is distinguished by the fact that it is held for the fourth consecutive year under the auspices of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and the Egyptian Tourism Promotion Authority, and with the technical supervision of the Egyptian Athletics Federation. This cooperation ensures that the race is organized according to the highest international standards, making it comparable to major international running races. In addition, the 2023 Pyramids Half Marathon sponsored by Marakez has been accredited by the Association of International Marathons and Long Distance Races (AIMS), further cementing its position as a global sporting event accredited by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), with all results officially recognized.

The event has also partnered with a number of prominent companies and brands, most notably the world-leading sportswear and equipment company PUMA, which designed a distinctive race jersey featuring special graphics of the pyramids. The list of sponsors also includes companies such as BP, Powerade, Bosch, and Talabat for delivery, in addition to the main sponsor, the Egyptian real estate developer Marakez.

It is worth noting that the medals presented to participants and winners alike in the 2024 Pyramids Half Marathon sponsored by Marakez were designed by Egyptian artist Mohamed Abla and supervised by Nour El Demerdash, Marketing Director and Partner at Tri Factory. Abla is considered one of the most prominent contemporary visual artists in Egypt, and his activity extends to working and teaching in a number of European countries. This comes within the framework of Tri Factory's continuous efforts to increase awareness of the Egyptian cultural heritage through sports events and activities.

On this occasion, Mr. Ayman Haqqi, Founder and CEO of The Tri Factory, stated: “We are extremely proud to organize the sixth edition of the Pyramids Half Marathon sponsored by Markaz. This year’s event has reached a new milestone with a record number of participants exceeding 6,500, highlighting the importance of the event on the global sports scene.
