🏛️ Petra, Jordan 50 Mile Challenge

Journey to one of the New Seven Wonders of the World as you take on the Petra, Jordan 50 Mile Challenge.

Inspired by the breathtaking ancient city of Petra, this virtual challenge invites you to complete 50 miles at your own pace. Whether you're walking, running, cycling, swimming, rowing or combining activities, every mile takes you closer to one of history's most extraordinary archaeological treasures.

Carved directly into vibrant rose-red sandstone cliffs over 2,000 years ago, Petra was once the thriving capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and an important crossroads of the ancient world. Hidden deep within a dramatic desert canyon, its magnificent temples, tombs and monuments have captivated explorers and travellers for centuries.

You don't need to travel to Jordan to experience the adventure—complete your miles anywhere in the world while imagining yourself walking through the narrow Siq, emerging before the magnificent Treasury and exploring the timeless beauty of the Lost City.

Every finisher receives our exclusive Petra, Jordan 50 Mile Challenge medal, featuring the iconic Treasury, stunning sandstone canyons and rich Middle Eastern-inspired detailing to celebrate one of the world's greatest historical wonders.
