Challenge Israman

After a beautiful swim in the crystal clear 22C waters of the Red Sea, the Challenge Israman bike course is world famous for a reason. The crisp morning desert air will charge you up the initial climb from the shores of the Red Sea, to the desert highland that hosts the spectacular bike course. Challenging and magnificent, the ride in this biblical land, will not be forgotten.

The T2 transition from bike to run, has its own designated area on the mountain (from which the organisers transport the bikes to the finish). From there, it’s a beautiful, yet quadricep taxing, 10km downhill run with fabulous views of the gulf of Eilat, back to sea level, and another 11.1km on the promenades hugging the gulf, en-route to the stadium-like finish line near the start.
