Participants from around the world are invited to ‘Run to the Lowest Point on Earth’ in the annual Dead Sea Ultra Marathon (DSUM). The race begins on the high ground of Amman and follows a course that drops by 1,300m (4,265ft) ending at the low ground of the Dead Sea. The event includes five separate categories: the Ultra Marathon, the Marathon, the Half Marathon, the Fun Run and the Junior Marathon. Each year over 1,500 runners take part in this fun event usually representing about 50 different nationalities. Runners raise sponsorship money for the Society for the Care of Neurological Patients (SCNP).
