The Red Sea Ayla Half Marathon will feature multiple races and distances (21 km, 21 km relay, 10 km, 4 km children’s race) with participants from various nationalities and both genders.

The Public Security Directorate confirmed the readiness of its personnel to secure the marathon route and oversee the events, ensuring the safety of participants and citizens. The directorate called on residents and drivers to follow traffic instructions and cooperate with security personnel.
