Ultra Daruz 8 - 2026
About the race
The race, first in the Ultra Daruz series, attracts runners for its beautiful route through a true "rain shadow" desert, offering numerous challenges. The course includes a Dead Sea viewpoint, climbs to Mount Azazel (Jabal Muntar) and reveals additional views between these points. The race suits nature running and desert running enthusiasts seeking to challenge themselves and experience achievement and satisfaction. The longer route starts from Kibbutz Almog, continues to Maaleh Qumran, the cliff axis of the Humayra complex, the Wadi Qumran valley, then to Jabal Muntar, ending at the Adomim plains. The shorter route starts in Wadi Qumran, passes through Mar Saba monastery to Jabal Muntar, and continues to Adomim plains.
