Ms. Lina El Kurd, General Manager of Run Jordan, stated that preparations for the marathon began early in coordination with the relevant entities, noting that the 16th edition represents an important milestone in the marathon’s journey, particularly following its achievement of the World Athletics Road Race Label 2026.

El Kurd added that the international label provides further momentum to continue developing the marathon, enhance the runners’ experience in line with international standards, and strengthen Jordan’s position as a destination for runners from the region and around the world.

El Kurd also expressed her appreciation for the continued support of Jordan Bromine Company, the marathon’s main sponsor, as well as the ongoing partnerships with national institutions and official, security, and sporting entities involved in organizing the event. She emphasized that collaboration among all partners remains a key factor in the marathon’s continued success year after year.

Run Jordan also emphasized that runners’ safety and overall experience remain at the forefront of preparations. Work is underway across all technical, organizational, and logistical aspects, including course preparation, medical services, traffic safety, and participant flow, alongside the essential role of volunteers throughout the event.
