DMR Challenge Dimona - 2027

About the race

This is a challenging terrain race considered one of the most fun and challenging runs in Israel, with routes passing through the spectacular landscapes of the Negev mountains, in an enchanting desert atmosphere and clear air. The routes include challenging climbs and tough terrain but full of satisfaction. The race is dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Carmel disaster from the city of Dimona, and is a special event in partnership with the local community, which promotes tourism and introduces the Negev and Dimona to runners from across the country. The starting points of all categories leave from the heart of Ben Gurion Park, which is being upgraded by the Jewish National Fund, and all runners loop around the forest before climbing to the stunning landscapes of the Dimona mountains. All runners finish the race at Dimona Lake, near the forest complex, where family activities will take place in partnership with the Jewish National Fund scout groups. Early registration for the race is underway, with a 30% discount for Dimona residents.
