The Sharm El Sheikh Half Marathon will be organized in accordance with international standards and the rules and regulations established by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), the Egyptian Athletics Federation, and the Race Organizer. Doping controls will be conducted in accordance with the relevant authorities' regulations, and the Race Organizer reserves the right to conduct random drug testing on any athlete participating in the event.
As with many major races around the world, the Sharm El Sheikh Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K races will implement a cut-off time of 3 hours from the official start of the 21K race. This is applied to maintain the competitive integrity of each race distance and due to operational limitations that prevent roads from remaining closed indefinitely while participants complete the course.
Every participant in the Sharm El Sheikh Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K races will receive a finisher’s medal upon successfully completing their race. All race distances will be accurately timed using the MyLaps Timing System. Results will be published in both overall and age group categories. The top three overall male and top three overall female finishers in each race distance will receive special awards.
