One hundred percent of the entry fees will go into helping find a cure for spinal cord injuries.
In this story, we’ll be listing the best places to run around Jordan by yourself or with your friends and family.
#1 The Dead Sea:
If you enjoy a nice refreshing run by the sea, then the lowest point on earth is for you! If you choose the Dead Sea as your running course, you’ll enjoy beautiful sunny warm weather and safe, spacious streets with a sea view like no other. You’ll also get to experience the serenity of the location, and if you’re up for it, you can take a quick dip in the sea to cool off once you’re done!

#2 King of Bahrain Forest, Amman:
The King of Bahrain Forest, located on the airport road, is an isolated forest that makes for a great place to run. It’s covered with thick woods and huge areas suitable for running under some nice tree shade. There’s nothing better than jogging with a soft breeze cooling you off while you break a sweat!
#3 Aqaba:
Another location that we have for you is “Aqaba”. This city offers cool summer vibes as you sprint through its streets! But as a precaution, make sure to slather on that sunscreen to fight off the hot weather and strong sun.

#4 Sport City, Amman:
Amman’s Sport City is among the top places to run in, with its large areas equipped for workouts and wide asphalt tracks for running. You can also run along expanses of shady woods that keep you cool during a hot day.
#5 Wadi Rum:
Finally, we have Wadi Rum. This spot is where athletes and runners go to challenge themselves! Running on sand or sandy roads can be a bit tiring, but the finish line is all the more rewarding!
Besides, running next to the wild dunes of Wadi Rum is both healthy and therapeutic, so who wouldn’t want that?
