The 2026 Ayla Dead2Red Cycling Race, initially established by Amman Road Runners in 1993, is a Race that starts on the shores of the Dead Sea from Ghor al Safi and completes 200km ending at the Ayla Oasis Resort on the shores of the Red Sea. Since the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, is around 415 meters below sea level, the entire race is a gradual ascent to sea level.
The Dead2Red Cycling Race has become one of the most popular cycling races in the country, luring both professional federation cyclists and amateurs alike. Cyclists can participate in this event as solo cyclists or in teams of 2 to 4 and must complete the distance in 9.5 hours.
This event is fully self-supported and provides a unique and fun challenge. We rely on the honesty of each individual/team to participate within the rules of this event. Safety is of the utmost importance, and we strive to maintain a safe environment throughout the duration of the event. Your cooperation in observing our safety rules is expected and appreciated, regardless of whether you are a runner, supporter, driver, sponsor, from the media or any other party involved in the event.
