It's Deja Vu all over again as someone much wiser than us once said. Two weeks left to the most eagerly funticipated event on the planet happening in Wadi Rum, Jordan. Come see why U.S. Men's Journal magazine named this one of the top 25 Adventure Marathon in the world. https://flashbackadventures.typeform.com/to/YXtGvx

What about running under the full moon? https://www.runnersworld.com/psychology/running-faster-at-night?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=Social&utm_term=1364628573&utm_campaign=Runner’s%20World

Yes and no. While there is no research that shows exercising in the dark actually makes you run faster, there are other benefits of running at night.

For our visiting runners, Jordan offers some of the best Adventure tourism. Our travel partner, Nebo tours, made a package specifically tailored to the marathon participants. This package will take you to see the highlights of Jordan with fellow runners plus it takes into consideration your physical state before and after the run. Contact us for details.

Ultrarunner Kelly Agnew, 45, has lost four of his titles after an investigation revealed that he'd won them by hiding in a Port-a-Potty, jumping out at the right moment to cross the finish line on time.
