Amman, Aug. 30 (Petra) — The Jordanian Marathon Association (Run
Jordan) has opened registration for the 16th Bromine Amman Marathon,
set to take place on Friday, October 2, under the patronage of HRH
Prince Firas bin Raad.

Held under the slogan “Run in the Heart of Amman,” the 2026 event
will bring together professional and amateur runners from Jordan and
abroad for a series of races through the capital, combining
competitive running with community participation and promoting Amman
as a sports and tourism destination.

This year’s marathon carries added significance after receiving the
World Athletics Road Race Label for the second consecutive year. The
Red Sea Half Marathon also secured the 2026 label, reflecting
continued progress in the technical and organizational standards of
races staged by Run Jordan and strengthening their presence on the
international running calendar.

Registration this year is being conducted through an upgraded system
linked to the Civil Status and Passports Department to verify
participant information and streamline the process. The upgrade is
part of Run Jordan’s efforts to expand digital services and improve
the runners’ experience from registration through race day.

Run Jordan Director General Lina Al-Kurd said the opening of
registration marks a new phase of preparations for the marathon,
inviting runners of all levels and abilities to participate.

She said securing the World Athletics classification for a second
consecutive year represents an important milestone in the marathon’s
development and provides further impetus to enhance the event’s
technical and organizational standards in line with international
requirements.

The race program includes the individual 42.195-kilometer marathon, a
relay over the same distance, a 21-kilometer half marathon and a
10-kilometer race. Dedicated categories will also be available for
participants with mobility disabilities and runners who are fully or
partially visually impaired.

Participants can register online through Run Jordan’s official
registration platform or in person at the association’s office in
Amman.

The association is also offering a delivery service for online
registrants to facilitate the receipt of race materials and make the
participation process more convenient.

Run Jordan called on runners from Jordan and abroad to register for
the October event and take part in the 16th edition of the marathon.
